Winter weather can be tough on your vehicle. At Hellman Chevrolet in Delta, CO, we want to make sure your car is ready to handle the cold temperatures, elevation, snow, and ice. Here are the top four services to schedule before winter arrives:
1. Winter Tires
Switching to winter tires provides better traction and handling on slippery roads. Benefits of winter tires include:
- Special tread compounds that stay pliable in cold weather
- Deeper tread depths to channel snow and slush
- Tread patterns designed to grip on ice
2. Battery Test
Cold weather is rough on batteries. A battery test will check that yours has sufficient cold cranking amps and reserve capacity. If needed, we'll install a fresh battery so you won't get stranded.
3. Heating System Check
You want to stay warm on frosty mornings. A heating system check will ensure your heater and defroster are working properly. We'll also check your coolant to make sure it's protected from freezing.
4. Wiper Blade Replacement
Visibility is crucial in winter precipitation. New wiper blades will help keep your windshield clear of snow, ice, and road spray. We'll make sure your wiper fluid is filled with a de-icing washer solvent too.
