Winter Maintenance Tips
Preparing Your Car for Winter in New Braunfels, TX
Winter weather can be a blessing and a curse. It can bring much-needed moisture as well as a cooler temperature, but it can also bring with it unwanted storms and cold for your drive. That’s why you should have your car winterized, or prepared for winter, by getting key services that will protect your vehicle throughout the winter season. At Bluebonnet Ford, we provide those services, and we’ve put together a list of services we recommend for winterization.
Our Top Ten Services for Preparing Your Car for the Winter
- HVAC Inspection: To combat the cold, you need to have your HVAC systems intact. We’ll pay special attention to the heater, defrost, seat warmers, and steering wheel warmers.
- Tire Inspection: We’ll make sure your tires’ tread and pressure are up to standards for driving in the cold, and we can even change your tires to snow tires if you so desire.
- Brake Inspection: With cold weather comes ice, so it’s best to have your brakes inspected for any issues that should be resolved.
- Battery Inspection: Our experts will find anything that might be obstructing your battery from doing its job.
- Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection: The cold can exacerbate cracks and chips, so it’s best to find them and take care of them before they become a problem.
- Check Windshield Wiper Blades: Windshield wiper blades play a vital part in keeping you safe during winter precipitation, so we want them to be in the best shape possible.
- Check/Replace Coolant and Antifreeze: Antifreeze prevents freezing in your cooling system, so it’s best to keep those levels where they should be.
- Battery Testing: Your battery controls startup, so we want to make sure you can start your car without worrying about being stranded in the cold.
- Change Washer Fluid: A winter blend of windshield washer fluid will prevent it from giving you freezing problems during the winter.
- Roadside Safety Kit Preparation: Our friendly staff can help you know what’s best to keep in your roadside safety kit so that you’re never unprepared in case of an emergency.
