Getting Your Vehicle Ready for Winter – Winter Vehicle Maintenance

At Steele Clarenville Chrysler, we aim to keep you safe on the road, especially during hazardous winters. Proper vehicle maintenance is one of the most essential factors in staying safe when driving in winter. Regularly maintaining your vehicle is essential to its overall performance and longevity. Preparing your vehicle for winter can help to minimize the wear and tear that this season brings, leaving you with a more reliable vehicle all year round. Here are some important vehicle maintenance services that you should perform to winterize your vehicle for the upcoming season!

1.Install Winter Tires

Winter tires have been specially designed to provide optimum traction on icy roads. Their special tread pattern means they have an excellent grip which enhances the vehicle’s braking distance, decreases the chance of slipping, and reduces the probability of collisions. They’re also engineered to handle sub-zero temperatures without losing pressure. Stay safe this winter, and install winter tires now!

2.Switch to Winter Wiper Blades

Proper winter wiper blades enhance your safety and protect your windshield. These special blades are stronger and can push away heavy snow, improving your visibility. The rubber in winter wiper blades better handles the freezing temperature without cracking.

3.Pack a Winter Safety Kit

Stay safe this winter, and ensure you have an emergency kit on hand. Winter brings storms that can leave you stranded on the side of the road in extreme cold. In your winter safety kit, be sure to pack warm clothes, a blanket, water bottles, non-perishable food, as well as a shovel to dig yourself out of snow and anti-freeze.
