Winterizing Your Honda Vehicle in O’Fallon, IL

Winter can be particularly brutal on vehicles with poor driving conditions on roads and cold temperatures that can affect your vehicle’s starting and performance. It can be unsafe if your vehicle is not properly prepared to handle these conditions, especially if you live in northern regions where temperatures regularly drop below zero. Services like a wiper blade inspection allow mechanics to determine the efficacy of the wipers. They will also change washer fluid to winter-blend, so ice and dirt on the windshield will be better dealt with. A roadside safety kit will help for small emergencies. It is best to be prepared in winter conditions to avoid accidents or breakdowns.

Our auto technicians will perform various services during a winterization service, including brake inspection, for proper stopping on icy roads. They will also check or replace engine coolant & antifreeze. This should be adjusted in colder climates for correct antifreeze protection. A tire inspection that is included will indicate performance and wear. An upgrade to winter-specific tires may be recommended depending on location and conditions.
