Winter is hard on vehicles. Besides the dangers of the road, rubber can freeze, metal can shrink, and road grime gets into everything. At Dearth GMC, we recommend a few tips to help vehicles make it safely through the winter.
Keep it Clean
Washing the road's grime off your vehicle is important. In the winter it can be more important. Not to make your ride look nice but to keep it running smoothly. Salt, sand, and other grime can work their way into moving parts and wear them out. Washing your vehicle helps prevent premature wear.
Check your Fluids
Low fluid levels can wreak havoc in good weather. In the winter, they can allow moisture to infiltrate anything from your cooling system to your brake lines, which can be catastrophic. Windshield washer fluid is also important; a clear view helps keep you safe on the road.
Replace Your Wipers
Worn-out or damaged windshield wipers can cause many problems when seeing the road around you. If you see any streaking when using your wipers, you may want to replace them.
