While winter weather is great for sledding or staying inside and drinking cocoa, it’s not so fun if you have to drive around in it. In fact, it can be downright treacherous. That’s why now is a great time to schedule Jeep® service so your vehicle is ready for whatever is on the way. St. Clair Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM goes over three essential maintenance tasks to get ahead of winter.
Tire Check
Your tires are a critical component when the weather starts to get colder, which is why you have to be sure that they are in good condition. Their tread should be deep enough to supply adequate traction when roads are slippery—we recommend a tread depth of at least 5/32 of an inch. In addition, you’ll want to monitor your tire pressure closely, as the drop in temperature can cause it to decrease.
Brake Inspection
Your braking system is another critical component when it comes to safety. It is vital that all parts are looked at closely even if you haven’t noticed any issues. Our team can thoroughly inspect your brake system and replace any worn-down pads or rotors so you have reliable stopping power this winter.
Windshield Wiper Replacement
While seemingly not as important as the other tasks, you’ll regret sticking with your old and frayed wipers when the snow or freezing rain is coming down and you can barely see the road. A replacement is fast and inexpensive. While you’re at it, you will also want to ensure that your wiper fluid is topped off with a solution that won’t freeze.
