Get Your Car Winter-Ready: Top Auto Service Tips from Commonwealth Nissan
As winter approaches, preparing your vehicle for the colder months is crucial for safe driving and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. At Commonwealth Nissan, we’re committed to helping drivers in Methuen, Haverhill, Andover, North Andover, Lowell, and Salem, NH, keep their cars in peak condition through the winter season. Here are our top winter auto service tips to ensure your Nissan is ready to face whatever the winter roads may bring.
1. Battery Check
Cold temperatures can put a strain on your car's battery, leading to reduced performance or a dead battery when you need it most. Our certified technicians will test your battery’s charge and replace it if needed, so you can count on your Nissan to start up even on the coldest mornings.
2. Tire Maintenance
Your tires play a significant role in maintaining traction on icy and snowy roads. Ensuring your tires are properly inflated and have enough tread is essential for safe winter driving. Consider switching to winter tires for improved grip on slippery surfaces. Stop by Commonwealth Nissan for a tire inspection, rotation, or new winter tire installation to keep you safe on the roads.
3. Wiper Blades & Washer Fluid
Visibility is key to driving safely during winter storms. Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition and replace them if they are worn out. Refill your washer fluid reservoir with a winter-grade solution that won’t freeze in cold temperatures. Commonwealth Nissan offers high-quality wiper blades and washer fluid that can stand up to the toughest conditions.
4. Brake Inspection
With snow, ice, and wet roads, having fully functional brakes is a must. Our technicians will check your brake pads, rotors, and fluid to ensure everything is operating smoothly. Don’t risk reduced stopping power—schedule a brake inspection at Commonwealth Nissan to avoid any winter mishaps.
5. Heating System Check
No one wants to be without heat during a chilly winter drive. Our team will inspect your Nissan’s heating system to ensure it’s working properly, including the defroster, which is essential for maintaining clear visibility. If you notice weak airflow or the air isn't getting warm enough, it might be time for a service.
6. Fluid Top-Offs
Cold weather can affect your vehicle’s fluids, including oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. Our technicians will check and top off all fluids, ensuring they are at the proper levels and using winter-specific formulations if needed to keep your engine running smoothly.
7. Undercarriage Inspection
Winter roads can be tough on your vehicle’s undercarriage due to road salt and debris. A thorough undercarriage inspection and cleaning can help prevent rust and corrosion. It’s essential to stay proactive to protect your vehicle against winter wear and tear.
