The leaves are changing and temperatures are dropping across Canton CT, which means winter weather will be here before we know it. Is your vehicle ready? Now is the time to start thinking about preparing your car or SUV for the cold months ahead. Some proactive maintenance and the right accessories can make all the difference for your safety and peace of mind on the road.
Check Your Tires
Your tires are one of the most critical safety components, especially in slick and icy conditions. If you live in Simsbury, it's a good idea to consider switching to a set of dedicated winter tires for optimal traction and handling. Our tire center can help you find the right tires for your specific make and model. We serve customers across Avon with expert tire service.
Test Your Battery and Wipers
Cold weather is notorious for draining batteries. Don't get stranded in Farmington CT with a dead battery. Have your battery tested to make sure it can hold a strong charge. While you're at it, check that your wiper blades are in good shape to provide a clear windshield in snow and slush. We recommend replacing your wipers for winter if they're showing signs of wear.
Top Off Fluids
Your vehicle relies on a variety of fluids to run smoothly, from oil to antifreeze to wiper fluid. Make sure all your fluid levels are topped off before the heart of winter hits Bristol CT. Using the proper washer fluid is key to cutting through ice and grime on your windshield. Low antifreeze can put your engine at risk in sub-freezing temperatures.
