Winter Vehicle Checklist
Windshield Wipers & Washer Fluid
Replace worn or cracked windshield wipers to maintain clear visibility in snow and ice. Be sure to top off your washer fluid with a winter-grade solution to prevent freezing.
Cooling System & Antifreeze
Have your coolant tested before temperatures drop. A proper 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water mix helps prevent freezing and protects your engine from damage. If it’s been a while, a cooling system inspection or flush is recommended.
Heater & Defroster Check
A functioning heater and defroster are critical for winter driving safety. We recommend inspecting your system to ensure proper airflow and heating performance before cold weather sets in.
Tires & Tire Pressure
Check your tire tread depth and inflation regularly during winter months. Cold temperatures can reduce tire pressure, so always check when tires are cold. Proper tread and inflation improve traction on icy and snowy roads.
