Popular Winter Car Services
So, what should your winter car maintenance checklist include? Here are some of the most important services to consider:
Tire Changeover
If you live in the Cincinnati region, you know how much snow and ice we can get. Installing a set of winter tires with a special tread design and cold-weather rubber compound will provide better traction and handling in wintry conditions compared to all-season tires.
Oil Change
Cold winter temperatures cause engine oil to thicken, making it harder to circulate and lubricate engine components. Getting an oil change with the proper viscosity oil for winter will keep your engine protected and running efficiently. This service is available at our Florence location.
Brake Service
Icy roads mean your brakes have to work harder to bring your vehicle to a stop. Before winter hits, have your brakes inspected to make sure the pads, rotors, and fluid are in good condition. Drivers in the Tri-County area can count on us for comprehensive brake service.
Battery Service
Car batteries can lose a significant amount of their starting power in frigid temperatures. We recommend having your battery tested to ensure it can handle the winter cold. If it's nearing the end of its life, get it replaced before you end up stranded.
Coolant Service
Despite its name, engine coolant (or antifreeze) is essential in the winter, too. It prevents the cooling system from freezing up. Check that your coolant is filled up and has the proper mixture to protect against the lowest expected temperatures.
