Winter isn’t quite here yet, but we can already feel the chill of Autumn growing stronger. These chilly months affect us, as we can’t help but pile on layers and heavy jackets, but this season also affects our cars. We must ensure our vehicles are ready to withstand Mother Nature's elements, and autumn is the best time to winterize them.
When you bring your vehicle to State Street Auto Service in Whitmore Lake, MI, our mechanics will thoroughly inspect your car to ensure everything is in tip-top shape and ready for winter. To winterize your vehicle, many important aspects of your engine need examination, such as:
Oil: Your engine's oil keeps everything running safely and smoothly. If your oil is dirty, lubricating your engine will be more of a struggle, and in cold months, you don’t want to deal with a damaged or broken engine. Also, there are different types of oil for the seasons, and we will see if your vehicle should switch to less viscous or thinner oil.
Coolant: Your coolant is responsible for keeping your vehicle from overheating and protecting your engine from freezing. Each car requires a certain ratio of coolant to water to ensure it does not freeze during winter. Our team will test the coolant strength.
Battery: Your battery’s capacity is reduced during cold temperatures, so it has to work harder to start your vehicle in cold weather. Our team will inspect your battery, cables, terminals, and fluids to ensure it is up for the challenges of winter.
Wiper Blades: If you have ever driven behind a vehicle throwing up dirty snow and road grit, you know how hard your windshield wipers work. We will ensure your windshield wipers are ready and able to do the job.
