If you
haven’t had your car checked yet this month, it’s a good time to do so before
the weather gets even colder, bringing with it the possibility of snow and ice.
Winter weather makes your car work harder, so it’s important to be sure that
all components of your vehicle are working properly.
1. Because winter is particularly harsh
on your battery, make sure your battery and charging system are in optimal
condition.
2. Put new antifreeze in the cooling
system.
3. Consider changing your windshield
wipers if they are old; you could also invest in winter wiper blades and cold
weather washer fluid.
4. Check your car’s tire pressure and
tread depth. Once wintery weather hits, check your tire pressure once a week.
5. Have a technician check the condition
of your fuel, air and transmission filters.
6. Because winter weather amplifies
existing problems with your engine, make sure to get a tune-up if you’re due
for one.
7. Get your car’s brakes checked.
8. Make sure all your car’s lights work
properly, both inside and outside your vehicle.
9. Make sure the exhaust system does not
have any carbon monoxide leaks.

service team at Sheehy Nissan of Mechanicsville would be happy to help you winterize
