Preparing Your Car for Unexpected Cold Weather at Larry Green Chevrolet

 

With historic winter storms hitting parts of the southern United States recently, it’s more important than ever to make sure your vehicle is prepared for cold weather. At Larry Green Chevrolet in Cottonwood, AZ, our service team is ready to get your car ready to handle the chilly temperatures and slick road conditions.

Here are some key cold weather maintenance items to take care of:

• Check fluid levels, especially antifreeze, and top off or replace as needed. Make sure you are using the proper antifreeze mixture to prevent freezing.
• Consider switching to winter tires, which provide better traction and handling in snow and ice compared to all-season tires.
• Keep your gas tank at least half full to prevent moisture from freezing in the fuel lines.
• Test your battery and replace it if it’s weak. Batteries lose power in the cold.
• Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition and that you have plenty of wiper fluid rated for low temperatures.

Schedule cold weather maintenance for your vehicle with our GM-certified technicians at Larry Green Chevrolet today!
