Description
Reno drivers are all too familiar with the extreme temperatures, snow, and ice that winter can bring to our roads and highways between November and February. The last thing you want is to find yourself stranded in the cold on a snowy winter night, which is why it’s so important to winterize your car and prep for winter driving. Not only will winterizing your car help keep you safe when you’re on the road in inclement conditions, but it can also help save your car from the potential damage that can be caused by salted slushy roads. Let me a trusted mobile mechanic of 20+ years help you winterize your car this winter.
Battery – Your car requires more power to start in frigid temperatures. If you’re nearing the point where a battery replacement is needed, ask about having a car battery that is at or above 600 CCA, which is typically the best option for winter driving.
Cooling System – Most vehicles need to maintain an antifreeze to water ratio between 50/50 and 70/30 to prevent corrosion and freezing. Consult your owner’s manual or ask our technicians which antifreeze should be used for your make and model.
Brakes – Your brakes should go unharmed by winter weather, but it’s still a good idea to have them inspected for optimal performance before heading out on slick roads. Please give me a call or text at
if you have any further questions or would like to set up an appointment at my shop or your garage.
Stay safe this winter and please remember don’t drink and drive and no texting and driving.
Thanks
Mario
