3 Key Considerations for Winter Hybrid Maintenance

Winter Vehicle Maintenance
At Christian’s Automotive, we understand the importance of preparing your vehicle for winter. As temperatures drop, there are three key systems to focus on: your car battery, tires, and brakes.
Car Battery
Cold weather is tough on your car’s battery. It works harder in lower temperatures, resulting in a shorter lifespan. If your battery is older than three years, it’s time to test it regularly. On the battery, you should find a small sticker indicating its age – the letter represents the month and the number is the year it was made.
Tires
Winter tires are designed to perform in cold conditions, offering better traction on snow and ice. Regular tires lose their grip as temperatures drop, which can lead to dangerous situations. We recommend checking your tire tread depth and pressure regularly and considering a set of winter tires for enhanced safety.
Brakes
Your brakes are vital for safe winter driving. At Christian’s Automotive, we inspect your brake pads and rotors for wear and tear, ensuring they can provide optimal stopping power in slippery conditions. Regular brake inspections and maintenance are crucial for your safety.
Stay safe this winter by ensuring your car battery, tires, and brakes are ready for the cold weather. Contact us today to schedule your winter vehicle check-up.
