Winter Car Maintenance Tips
Stay Safe Out There!
Winter is just around the corner, which means that now is the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is equipped to handle it all. Keep reading for some standard rules of thumb when winterizing your car, truck, or SUV!
Tires:
Worn tires are harder to notice during the summer; however, if your tire tread is practically nonexistent, your ability to stop and keep traction on icy roads will be severely impaired. Stay safe with a fresh set of tires. You can quickly check your tire tread with the penny test, or the team at Markquart Menomonie is happy to help.
If you notice the low tire light on your dash when the temperature drops, don’t lag in filling them. We recommend keeping a pressure gauge in your glove box to check this. Our service team is happy to fill your tires, or you can fill them at most local gas stations.
Coolant:
Your engine’s coolant is what keeps you windshield defrosted, and your passengers warm all winter long. Without clean and functioning coolant, you risk your engine overheating, leaving you without heat during the coldest time of the year.
Wipers:
Visibility on the road is crucial. If you start to notice streaks or squeaking when you use your windshield wipers, let our service team know during your visit. We’ll be glad to install wipers that perfectly fit your vehicle.
Battery:
Extreme heat or cold heightens the wear on your battery over time, and with the rapidly changing seasons in Wisconsin, you are more at risk. Visit us for service now and let our certified technicians make sure your battery is in tip-top shape.
Schedule an appointment with Markquart Menomonie today, and let us help make sure your vehicle is winter-ready. We use only the best Mopar Parts, so you’ll know that your car is in good hands.
