Prep Your Vehicle for Winter with Chevy Service

It’s important to schedule Chevy service throughout the year, but the temperature changes and inclement conditions of winter make service especially important in the chilly months. Castle Rock Chevrolet is here to make sure you get the service you need all winter long. Learn how to prepare your vehicle for safe winter driving at our dealership.

Inspect the Battery

Most car batteries last between three to five years, but temperature and environment have a significant impact on battery capacity. In temperatures below freezing, your battery can lose up to 50 percent of its capacity, which increases the risk of drivers getting stranded. You want to make sure to get your battery inspected at the start of the season, so you can replace it if needed.

Check the Hoses and Belts

Your vehicle depends on a series of hoses and belts that help to move fluids and keep the powertrain properly timed. Those hoses and belts are made of materials that are prone to damage or cracking in colder temperatures. For safe winter driving, make sure to get them inspected early on in the season, to avoid the risk of leaks or damage to surrounding parts and systems.

Service the Tires

Well-maintained tires are especially important in the winter months, when the roads are icy and snowy. If you plan on doing significant winter driving, such as taking road trips or visiting the mountains, you may want to make the switch to winter tires. If you want to keep your all-season tires, make sure to get them inspected for tread depth, so you can be sure they’ll maintain traction on the road. You also want to get the pressure checked, as fluctuating temperatures can lead to pressure loss.
