Getting Your Car Winter Ready in Falmouth, Nova Scotia
Getting Your Car Winter Ready in Falmouth, Nova Scotia
Ensuring that your vehicle is safe during wintry weather can confirm that you are safe on slick or snowy roads. You can get your car winter-ready thanks to these tips.
Tire Service
Before the snow starts to fly, you'll want to address the current condition of your tires. If you have a set of all-season tires on your vehicle, you'll want to make sure that you have enough tread left on them in order to provide your vehicle with ample traction on slick road surfaces. If your current set of tires are questionable, you have the option to invest in a new set of tires. You can also choose winter tires that you'll use during the months of the year that are cold and snowy. You'll switch back to a summer set of tires once the temperatures are above freezing.
Checking Your Fluid Levels
Several fluids are within the inner workings of your vehicle, including transmission fluid, oil, coolant, windshield wiper fluid and much more. These fluids need to be at appropriate levels if you want your vehicle to run reliably. Our technicians can ensure that all of these fluid levels are where they should be, but we can also determine if the quality of the fluid is appropriate. If anything needs to be changed or topped off, we can take care of that.
Windshield Wiper Service
Your windshield wipers may seem like a basic item on your vehicle, but this is an important safety feature. If you don't have a good set of wiper blades on your car, you won't have ample visibility. There are special winter wiper blades that you can change over to when the seasons change. Book a service appointment with our Service Centre to find out more.
Roadside Emergency Kit
Keeping some extra items in your trunk during the winter will keep you prepared for any emergencies that creep up. Bottles of water, non-perishable food items and a blanket are all useful in the event of an accident or storm.
