Winter is tough on vehicles, no matter where you live. At Brown and Wood Mazda, we know the importance of preparing for North Carolina winters, so come in for Mazda care today and get ready for colder weather with these service to-dos.
Check Your Battery
Car batteries rapidly lose their efficacy as the temperature drops: a battery at 0º only has half the power it had at 80º. If you’ve had trouble with your battery during the warmer months or if it’s been a while since your last check-up, make sure to have it checked before cold weather begins in earnest. Some batteries require fluid, so even if you haven’t noticed any issues, make sure you’re topped up if necessary.
Replace Your Wiper Blades
Winter precipitation is particularly hard on wiper blades, so make sure yours are ready for the task ahead. Replace your blades with new parts and consider switching to high-performance winter blades for occasional inclement weather. Trust us — when a snowy day or torrential rainfall comes around, you’ll be happy you have them.
Clean Your Car
Winter means salt and ice, which can easily be kicked up from the road and stick to your paint — or your windows. To make sure to keep clear lines of sight while out on the road, regularly wash your car during the winter months. Salt and dirt can even stick to your paint job, leading to rust and other issues when the weather warms up again.
