Routine service is an important part of maintaining the longevity of your model. That is why keeping up with seasonal maintenance can be especially important to protect against breakdowns and preventable repairs. Visit the service center at Swanson Buick GMC for all your winter service needs.
Pre-Winter Maintenance Recommendations for Lowell Area Car Owners
Winter can be a challenging driving season for Marlborough drivers. Because of the increased risks of inclement weather, colder temperatures, and poor road conditions, getting your vehicle road ready for winter should be a top priority. We recommend several vital pre-winter maintenance tasks before driving around wintry Nashua streets.
Winter Tires
Because of the increase in snowy weather and icy Billerica road conditions during the winter, there is a greater risk for tire blowouts and road handling problems. That is why checking your tires for low tread, and any potential damage to existing tires is essential. It's a good idea to swap your current tires for winter ones, which are designed to handle winter weather conditions.
Fluid Changes
Winter is a critical time for anti-freeze; it maintains the temperature in your engine and protects it from extreme temperatures. Radiator fluid changes can be done with a radiator flush. This can be done when you come in for a standard oil change for people who need a fluid top-off or to add some anti-freeze.
Battery Check
Getting your battery checked before winter sets in to see how well it's holding a charge can be especially important to ensure you don't get stuck during winter. The cold might impact its ability to function optimally.
Windshield Wiper Changes
If your wiper blades haven't been changed in the last few years, getting them replaced at our dealership is recommended. Old or weak wiper blades are prone to cracking and breaking during the winter; allow our mechanics to equip your vehicle with rubber wiper blades that can withstand freezing weather.
