Winter is a beautiful season, and it brings its own set of challenges when it comes to driving. At TIRECRAFT, we understand the importance of safe winter driving, and we’re here to guide you through the essential steps to ensure your vehicle is ready for the season.

Vehicle Preparations To Remember

Proper winter preparation for your car can be a daunting task to complete by yourself, you can trust us with the responsibility of winterizing your vehicle. There are a couple of things that you may want to tackle by yourself, but when in doubt, always reach out to the experts instead of increasing the expenses for yourself. Take a look at some of the ways we can help your vehicle power through harsh conditions.

Oil change

Irrespective of the season, regular oil change is important. During winter it is even more crucial because the oil can thicken preventing it from flowing properly. If the oil has not been changed in a while, it can be a risk factor. Depending on your vehicle, our team of professionals will ensure they recommend the right oil so that you can drive safely.

Winter Tires

When it comes to winter driving, the right tires can make all the difference. Invest in a set of high-quality winter tires that are designed to provide superior traction on snow and ice. Our experts can help you choose the perfect set based on your vehicle and driving needs.

Battery Check-Up

Cold temperatures can reduce your vehicles battery efficiency, making it crucial to have it tested before winter sets in. If it’s time for a replacement, our technicians can recommend a reliable battery that will help your vehicle start smoothly, even in the coldest weather.

Antifreeze Check

Ensure your vehicle’s cooling system is filled with the appropriate antifreeze mixture. This helps to prevent your engine from freezing and regulate its temperature. If you’re unsure about the right antifreeze for your vehicle, TIRECRAFT professionals can assist you in finding the best option.

Wiper Blade Check

Ensure that your wiper blades are in optimal condition, and if they’re not, be sure to have them inspected at your nearest auto center. It’s crucial to equip your vehicle with wiper blades designed for winter conditions to ensure efficient performance.

Brake Inspection

Icy roads require reliable brakes. Have your brakes inspected by our technicians to ensure they are in optimal condition. This includes checking brake pads, discs, and brake fluid levels.
