Important Winter Services near Arlington, VA
- Tires - You can expect your vehicle to handle well on winter roads if they're not in good condition. If your tires are showing signs of wear and tear, they should be replaced before winter arrives. If you live in a snowy climate such as Alexandria, VA, you might want to consider winter tires. Be sure your tires are rotated every 5,000 miles. Tires typically lose air in the winter, so be sure to check the pressure regularly.
- Heating - Too often we discover our car's heater is not working properly on the coldest day of the year. Our technicians can inspect your heating system and make sure it's in tip-top shape and ready to do its job.
- Windshield - Your windshield should be in good condition and free from cracks. Make sure the windshield wiper blades are working correctly and not in need of replacement. Make sure your windshield washer reservoir is full and keep extra windshield washer fluid in the trunk.
- Fluids - Make sure all your fluid levels are topped, including motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and anti-freeze.
- Battery - Cold temperatures can be hard on batteries, which is why you should start the winter with a fully charged battery or a new one.
