PREPARE FOR FALL AND WINTER WITH PROFESSIONAL AUTO SERVICE

This is the time of year when temperatures start to drop like leaves from a tree. Before you know it, snow will start falling, too. For some drivers, cold weather and snow are to be celebrated. Some of us just put up with it until spring. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, you have something in common with all other drivers during this time of year: you need to check some fall maintenance items off your to-do list to make sure that your car is ready for the change. Here at our Chevy and Buick service center serving Standish, MI, we can help you tackle fall and winter service to ensure that your car has what it needs to perform at full strength.

RECOMMENDED FALL SERVICES

Keeping up with fall maintenance (and seasonal maintenance in general) is one of the best things you can do to ensure that your vehicle performs smoothly throughout the year. So, what are some of the services that we offer here at our Chevy and Buick service center to help you keep your car running smoothly? Here are some of the top services that we offer to help you prepare your car for cooler weather.

OIL CHANGES

Oil changes are important year-round because they help to protect your engine. By lubricating your car’s fast-moving engine parts, oil helps to reduce wear and tear and improve efficiency as you drive around Saginaw, so we highly recommend keeping up with oil changes to make sure that your car is ready to take on any season.

BATTERY SERVICE

As temperatures start to plummet, your car battery has to work harder. Cold weather saps your battery’s strength, so if your battery is already weak, you might find yourself unable to start your car after a cold snap. We can test your battery here at our service center to see if it’s strong enough to handle fall and winter weather. If it’s too weak, we can fit your car with a replacement battery so that you can dive into your journeys around Midland, MI with greater confidence.

WIPER BLADES

Your wiper blades need to be in good condition if they’re going to clear away the rain and snow that will inevitably try to coat your windshield. If your wiper blades appear worn or they are failing to clear your windshield quietly and cleanly, it’s likely time to replace them. We can replace your wiper blades for you here at our service center serving Bay City and help prepare you for whatever fall and winter have in store.

WINTER TIRES

Why are winter tires such a big deal? Winter tires are made specifically to handle winter weather. They’re made of a special rubber compound that allows them to stay soft and flexible in cold weather, making them ideal for driving on frigid pavement. Additionally, they have deeper, wider tread patterns than other types of tires, so they have an easier time finding traction on snowy, slippery surfaces.

WHEN TO SWAP YOUR TIRES

Now is a good time to start thinking about setting an appointment to swap your tires. We typically recommend that drivers make the switch when the weather outside starts to linger at around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter tires wear out quickly if you drive on them during the warmer months, so it’s important to strategize carefully if you want to get the most out of your winter tires!
