Whether you're driving a Honda Accord through icy roadways, you're getting ready to start up your Honda CR-V in freezing temperatures, or you're looking to take your Honda Odyssey through snowy conditions, you'll want to make sure your car is ready for any winter drive. Here are a few winter maintenance services you'll want to schedule at our Friendly Honda of Fayetteville service center.
Your car's tires are what keep you firmly planted on the ground. Changing over to winter tires is highly recommended, especially when you frequently travel over snow-covered or icy roads. Winter tires are designed to handle freezing temperatures and have a deeper tread for more grip on snow or slush. If you decide not to change over to winter tires, you'll want to schedule a tire inspection and rotation to keep your tires well-maintained.
Turning the key to start your vehicle and having nothing happen is a frustrating experience. To deter hard starts or no starts from occurring, it's recommended to test your battery's charge before the below-freezing temperatures arrive. If you've had to jump-start your vehicle before, you may want to consider replacing the battery anyways.
Not having heat is sure to make your Fayetteville, NY, commute uncomfortable and may even cause your line of sight to be impaired. Make sure that your car's climate control system is working well.
Having a good line of sight is important for any drive, but is especially imperative when the weather is bad. Make sure that your windshield is in good condition and that it has no cracks or dirt streaks that could make your vision impaired. Changing your windshield wipers to winter wipers is also recommended because their blades are made of stronger rubber to combat ice and snow. Don't forget to keep your windshield wiper fluid full as well, especially when the snow starts to melt.
Every driver should also maintain their vehicle on a regular schedule. If you haven't had your routine maintenance performed for a while, you'll want to have it scheduled before the snow appears. Here are a few regular maintenance items our service center suggests.
If you've noticed something isn't right with your Honda vehicle, we suggest contacting our service center to determine what is wrong and how it can be fixed.
