Did you know that your vehicle can be severely impacted by winter weather? To help offset the elements, visit our Ford dealership serving Fort Atkinson, WI for expert maintenance!
Apply Wax
While it may be common sense that going into the winter months with a clean vehicle will make it easier to clean up after the snow, a wax job might not be on the top of your list, but it should be. A fresh coat of wax can go a long way in protecting your Ford car, truck, or SUV finish from ice, snow, and road salt.
Change Your Oil
Regular oil changes are something every vehicle needs, and it never hurts to be proactive. Whether your Ford is at the 5,000 mile point or not, its always a good idea to get ahead of cold weather with fresh lubrication. Call us for an oil change, and we can also check your antifreeze and top your windshield wiper reservoir off with a de-icing fluid.
Care for Your Battery
A sudden change in temperature can quickly affect your battery. To avoid the hassle of having to jump start your car or even worse, being stuck without one, a new battery or a trickle charger will ensure you always have plenty of power to turn your engine over.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Under inflated tires and over worn treads on ice can quickly put your vehicle in a ditch. Check your tires for wear and make sure they are inflated to the correct PSI.
Replace Wiper Blades
A snow storm can greatly reduce your vision on the road. To make sure you have the upper hand, a new set of wiper blades and, if needed, headlight bulbs are a smart idea. Likewise, you’ll want to do your part in aiding other drivers to see you, so double check your tail lights.
Schedule an appointment today to bring your new Ford vehicle in for service! We look forward to getting you ready for the upcoming season.
