With winter conditions already arriving, now is the ideal time to make sure your vehicle is ready for cold weather and challenging driving conditions near Batavia. That's why Toyota of Batavia is happy to provide handy tips about vehicle maintenance and upkeep. Whether you're visiting our service center or picking up components from our parts department, we'll be here to answer questions and provide helpful details.
Check Your Tires
Your tires grip the road to help you accelerate, brake, and steer. On snowy or icy roads, dedicated winter tires are your best bet for remaining safe. If you aren't able to put studded or studless winter tires on your vehicle, make sure your tires are aired up, as colder weather causes pressures to drop. In addition, make sure you have at least 4/32 inches of tread depth for optimal grip as you drive around Albion.
Test Your Battery
Vehicle batteries work harder in the winter, and the last thing you want to be is stranded. If you haven't had your battery tested, our technicians can provide extensive diagnostics to let you know about the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), battery voltage, and expected lifespan. For those who need a new battery, our service center near Media can provide advice to ensure you make the right pick for your car, truck, or SUV.
Fill Your Fluids
Cold weather impacts liquids, from coolant and oil to moisture-sensitive brake fluid. Our team is happy to conduct a multi-point inspection and make sure you have an adequate amount of antifreeze in your cooling system. In addition, we can replace oil with a lower weight to ensure it flows when cold and can replace your brake fluid to ensure moisture doesn't impact your ability to drive safely near Le Roy.
Prepare for Vehicle
Many areas require headlights to be used when your wipers are running, which is why replacing your wiper blades and ensuring your exterior lights are functioning is crucial. Our team can help you find wiper blades that fit your car and work best in wet or cold conditions, making it easy to tackle snow, sleet, rain, and more. Plus, we can replace halogen or LED light bulbs to ensure you can see the roads of Attica.
