Winter may be beautiful but let’s face it, it can wreak havoc on your car. With the winter season quickly approaching, it’s so important to make sure that your vehicle is prepared. These tips from our Dodge service experts at Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM can help.
Inspect Your Battery
As the temperature drops, so does your battery power. You don’t want to, quite literally, be left in the cold. Make sure to inspect your battery to ensure it’s at full capacity and will be ready for the strain of cold weather.
Check Your Brakes
Driving conditions are already precarious in the winter due to the obscure sightlines and slick terrains. It’s more important than ever that your brake system is in peak condition. Our technicians can inspect your brakes and replace any worn parts.
Switch Up Your Tires
While winter tires aren’t a must, they are strongly encouraged when you are frequently driving in snowy conditions like we are in Avenel, NJ. At the very least, you need to check your tires’ tread depths to ensure they can provide the traction you need. The recommended minimum depth increases to 6/32 of an inch in the winter.
Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades
As we mentioned, obscure sightlines can be a hazard during the winter. Inspect your windshield wipers to make sure that they can completely clear your windshield from snow and slush. Don’t forget to top off your windshield wiper fluid too.
Keep in mind, cold weather makes your windshield wipers brittle and more prone to breaking, so you’ll need to keep a watchful eye on them all season long.
