Popular Seasonal Services
From oil changes to tire rotations, there is a selection of services that can help prepare your vehicle for changing weather. Learn more about some of our most common seasonal services before visiting us today.
Brakes
Your brakes should stop the vehicle immediately when you press them while navigating bumper-to-bumper traffic. Service is especially important in colder weather when salt is more likely to be on the road. Not only can salt build on your brakes, but mud and water may get into the components, which could then freeze onto them. Too much heat could also wear out the brake pad, which is commonly caused by constant braking. If your brakes squeal, grind, leak fluid, pull to one side, or feel soft, we encourage you to get them inspected as soon as possible.
Heater and Defroster
When you get into your vehicle, you likely don't want to sit on a cold seat. You'll also need your defroster to work properly, so it will keep the windows defrosted. It may sound odd, but your air conditioner also needs maintenance since it helps defog windows. Your heater may need service if it isn't warming enough, the windows are foggy, or the air smells sweet.
Tires
Tire services are especially important to keep tires safe and effective for all types of road conditions. Temperatures affect tire pressure, causing one pound per square inch pressure loss per 10-degree drop. Tire rotation is essential to help the tires wear evenly to give you better fuel economy and smoother rides.
Wiper Blades
Wiper blades are an important part of your vehicle because they help keep the rain and snow off the windows. If you haven't replaced your blades in a while, getting them ready for increased precipitation is a good idea. Our skilled technicians can inspect your wiper blades and replace the fluid if needed.
