Get Your Car Ready for Winter Before the Snow Flies!

Everybody hates to remember that winter is right around the corner, but that’s always the case here in the Chicago area. Biggers Mazda, a premier Elgin area Mazda dealer, is here to ease the pain and help you get your car ready for an easy year of winter driving. It’s fall now, so it’s the perfect time to prepare before the snow flies!

• Oil: Make sure to have your regularly scheduled oil and oil filter change taken care of before winter, and make sure you’re running oil that’s rated for the super cold temperatures we get around here.

• Battery: You want to definitely make sure that your battery is in good working condition and has plenty of charge. With the cold weather, a battery that’s on its last legs will no doubt fail.

• Tires: Consider picking up a pair of snow tires for the winter. It’s a purchase you won’t likely regret! It will save your other tires for warmer months and extend their life and it will give you better traction and control in the snow and ice!

• Fluids: Make sure all your fluids are topped off with manufacturer recommended products. Ask our mechanics about using specially formulated low temperature fluids to avoid any problems with your coolant system, your transmission, or anything else!

• Prepare an Emergency Kit: If you’re going to be doing a lot of driving this winter, make sure you stock your trunk with some emergency supplies. Make sure you have blankets or sleeping bags, warm clothes, bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, tools, first aid supplies, and road flares.

With those five tips, you should be ready to take on the worst that Mother Nature has to throw at us this winter season! Come visit Biggers Mazda for help with winterizing your vehicle. Our expert mechanics can help make sure that your vehicle is prepared for cold temperatures and poor road conditions.
