So what winter services does your vehicle need? Our team is here to walk you through some of the key winter maintenance items.
Oil Change
Cold temperatures in Fairfax, VA, can thicken oil, making it harder for your engine to turn over. Getting a winter oil change with the proper viscosity oil for the season will help protect your engine.
Tire Rotation and Wheel Alignment
Proper tire pressure and tread are critical for maintaining proper traction on snowy and icy roads around Arlington County, VA. Our technicians will rotate your tires and check the alignment to ensure even wear. We can also install winter tires for enhanced performance.
Inspect the Brakes
Your vehicle's braking system is put to the test in winter conditions. We'll inspect the brake pads, rotors, lines, and fluid and make any necessary repairs. Properly functioning brakes are vital for winter driving safety.
Check Headlights and Taillights
Shorter days mean more nighttime driving in the winter. We'll check that all your vehicle's lights are working so you can see and be seen on dark winter roads. Headlight restoration can improve nighttime visibility.
Check the Heating System and Defroster
There's nothing worse than a nonworking heater on a frigid winter morning. We'll make sure your vehicle's heating and defrosting system is in good working order so you stay warm and your windows are clear.
Test the Vehicle Battery
Cold temperatures are hard on vehicle batteries. A battery test will reveal if you need a new one before it fails and leaves you stranded. We'll check the charging system too.
