Winter Service Tips near Gaithersburg

Check the Coolant

When coolant/anti-freeze comes due for a change, don’t delay flushing the system. Old fluid might not do its job well, leading to a disaster if the temperature falls. Let our technicians check the radiator hoses for leaks since you don’t want to lose fluid.

Oil Changes

Changing motor oil on time is something drivers must do all year. When winter arrives, some special considerations may arise. Cold weather may necessitate switching to synthetic oil and a thinner viscosity for the winter season. Your vehicle has to work harder in the winter, and clean oil will help to ensure your car starts every time.

Tire Service

Driving on “good” tires makes sense in every season, and you don’t want to deal with low treads when the roads are icy in Hagerstown. Tire inspections and rotations take on added importance when road conditions might soon become treacherous.

Have you thought about switching to winter tires? These tires come with designs to improve traction and could be a big help on snow-covered roads.

Battery Service

Extreme weather is rarely kind to batteries. If the battery is already old or suffering from problems, maybe you need a new one right away. Have the battery checked before the temperature drops.

Installing Winter Wipers

Windshield wipers degrade and require replacing. Consider switching to winter wipers, as they are sturdier and come with thicker rubber blades.
