Whether you'll be driving locally in Westport or planning a holiday road trip, it's important to ensure that your car or SUV is ready for the cold weather. With winter services at Honda of Westport, you'll enjoy improved brake response, handling and control, and performance. Here's a winter service checklist every Honda owner in Stamford should follow.
Oil and Filter Changed
Cold weather can affect the viscosity and performance of your vehicle's engine oil. If you can't remember how long it's been since you had your car's oil changed, now is the time to get it done. These visits give our mechanics the chance to swap out dirty engine oil filters and put in a more resilient, winter-grade engine oil.
Prep the Cooling System
Diluted antifreeze ices up if outdoor temperatures plummet. During your oil change service, we'll make sure that you've got plenty of antifreeze and that all of your cooling systems' belts and fans are in good condition. One service Bridgeport drivers can't afford to overlook.
Battery Inspection
Automotive batteries can lose up to half of their power when temperatures fall below freezing, which doesn't bode well at all for batteries that are already nearing the end of their lifespans. A battery health test performed before winter rolls in will allow us to change this component out before it fails.
Tire Changeover Services
If you are driving over ice or snow-covered streets, let us help you find the right tires for your environment and your driving style. You can choose from studdable, studless, and studded winter tires. We can alternatively make sure that your current all-weather tires are in good condition, and properly balanced, and pressurized.
Install Winter Wiper Blades
Even high-quality summer wiper blades won't stand up to freezing temperatures and heavy loads of snow and sleet. Winter wiper blades are more flexible and durable than standard rubber blades. They'll reliably clean your windshield and can stand up to a far greater amount of weather-related wear.
