Winter can be detrimental to the condition of your vehicle. Cold temperatures, precipitation, and hazardous road conditions combine to make precautions necessary. Here at Fitzgerald Subaru of Gaithersburg, we want to ensure our Germantown, MD, customers are prepared for winter weather. We don't want you to be struck by any unnecessary surprises or accidents. Follow these tips to prepare your car for winter. Our Subaru service specials can help.
Check Your Battery
Cold weather places added strain on your battery. It can quickly zap your power, leaving you stranded. We can quickly test your battery and inspect your terminals for corrosion. Also, our team will replace your battery if yours isn't up for winter's demands.
Maintain Tire Pressure and Tread
If your vehicle's tires aren't properly inflated or if your tread is worn, it could spell real trouble for you on the roads of Rockville. Cold weather makes it worse by causing tires to deflate more quickly. If your tires are deflated or worn down, it can make it difficult to control your vehicle. Let our service professionals take a look. We can make sure things are on track. We're also happy to recommend new tires and install them if necessary. Depending on the type of driving you do most, winter treads may be advisable.
Inspect Your Brakes
Brake inspection is crucial this time of year. Moisture and salt deposits can impact performance. You want to be sure your brakes are in good condition and functioning correctly so that you can stop properly in wet, slushy, and slick conditions.
Replace Fluids
You'll want to check fluids like brake and windshield fluids to be sure you have proper levels. You may also want to replace them with winter formulas to avoid freezing. We can take care of that.
