With winter setting in, it's essential to consider any maintenance your car needs to prepare it for the colder season. Autobahn USA Westborough has a full-service repair and maintenance center that's ready to help you winterize your vehicle before winter fully sets in.

The Importance of Winter Maintenance Services

The winter months can be tough on your vehicle. Taking proper precautions and maintaining your vehicle throughout the winter will enable it to run smoothly and safely.

Oil changes: Oil is essential for reducing friction between the many moving parts within the engine. As the oil circulates, it also removes debris from your engine, promoting optimal efficiency and performance.

Tire Rotation: Rotating the tires promotes an even wear pattern, extending the lifespan of your tires. Your vehicle can benefit from improved fuel efficiency, handling, and traction. During the winter months, consider getting winterized tires for proper traction in snow and icy conditions.

Wheel Alignment: Hitting curbs, potholes, or debris hidden by snow can impact your alignment. Properly aligned wheels will keep your vehicle driving straight, maximize the tire lifespan, and make your vehicle easier and safer to handle. Consider having the alignment inspected before and after winter.

Battery Test: Cold weather can impact the performance of the car battery by slowing the chemical reactions that create power. The battery helps start the car and provides power to various electrical components, including the stereo system, defrosters, and lights. We recommend testing the battery before winter fully sets in.

Brake Inspection: The brakes play a crucial role in the safety of your vehicle. When the roads get icy, your car will take longer to stop. Our service team will inspect the various components of your brakes to ensure everything is working properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Winter Maintenance

Should I switch to winter tires?

Yes. Winter tires are made of a freeze-resistant rubber and have a deeper tread pattern. Your vehicle will have better traction and stopping power, making it easier to navigate icy and snowy conditions around Natick, MA. The team at Autobahn USA Westborough can help you choose a set of high-quality winter tires for your vehicle.

How often do I need to check the tire pressure in winter?

The tire pressure can fluctuate as the temperature changes. During winter, you should check the tire pressure weekly. Many newer vehicles have a monitoring system and will alert you if the tire pressure is too low.

How do I protect my car from road salt damage?

Salt can accumulate on the undercarriage of your vehicle. Washing your car regularly during the winter will help remove the salt and prevent corrosion. Consider having a protective coating applied to the exterior and underbody.
