Winter Maintenance For Your Car or Truck - How To Avoid Unpleasant Surprises!

Wash Your Car: Although we may not snow very often here in Georgia, it is still important to maintain a clean car. Winter elements can cause damage to your car’s paint and even lead to rust, so just be sure to wash yours thoroughly and frequently, and you’ll be good to go!

Swap Your Wiper Blades: Although snow doesn’t happen often, we still want you to be safe and prepared when it does. Swapping your wiper blades will help ensure visibility when it suddenly starts to snow out of the blue. Winter is full of unpredictable weather, so we want to make sure you are fully equipped for anything Mother Nature throws at you this season. 

Check Your Battery: Cold weather can be particularly harsh on your car battery, but the mornings where you’re in a rush and your car won’t start can easily be avoided, and we’ll tell you how. A weak car battery can survive through the summer, but through the winter is a different story. So, as the winter months start creeping up, and you feel the tell-tale chill in the air, you can have your battery tested to make sure it’s in the best condition. If need be, that’s the perfect time to get it replaced, so you’ll have a winter full of mornings where you’re always on time. 

Check Your Heater: The feeling of a warm car after walking through icy air is the best. Even in Georgia, it can still get extremely cold during the winter, so you depend on your car heater a lot during those times. Be sure to check your heater and defroster are working by turning it on and seeing if it pushes out warm air. We promise it will be worth it as your nose finally defrosts when you climb in your car.
