With warm afternoons and cool nights, the weather right now is pretty great. However, we all know that soon it will just be cold all the time. When you have to drive in the cold, snow, and ice, you have to make sure your car is ready. You can do this with the right Mazda service. You should follow the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner’s manual, but Lester Glenn Mazda has four tasks that are especially important this time of year.
Battery Test
Do you know how much charge your battery has left? A test will give you great insight. Your battery has to be able to get your car started no matter how much the temperature drops, and if the juice is running low, now is the time for a replacement.
Key Fluids Check
Many parts in your Mazda vehicle require fluids, and no fluid is more important during the winter than antifreeze. As the name suggests, this helps prevent your engine from freezing up. You should also check to make sure you have enough wiper fluid and that you use the stuff that won’t freeze.
Brake Inspection
When roads get slick, you have to be confident that your brakes will give you great stopping power. An inspection of your braking system will let you know if everything is in good shape or if a part should be replaced.
Tire Examination
Along with your brakes, your tires are crucial for keeping you safe when driving in winter. You’ll want to make sure that the treads are deep enough to supply adequate traction and that each tire is inflated to the right level.
