Owning a car is a necessity for most people. That is why ensuring it gets the best upkeep and maintenance is essential.

As vehicle owners in the Kokomo area prepare for winter, it's important to remember that a vehicle needs some servicing for weather changes in the colder months. That is why we recommend getting a few key service tasks done this fall to ensure your vehicle runs at its best all winter long.

Winter Tires

The winter months can provide quite a mix of weather conditions to be concerned with. That is why ensuring the vehicle has a good set of tires ready to handle the road should be a top priority for safety throughout the winter months. All-season tires can work well during the winter, but you could also consider winter tires. Regardless of the type of tire you choose, it is vital to ensure you have good tread for proper road handling in inclement weather.

Batteries and Wipers

At McGonigal Buick GMC, we recommend all vehicle owners check their batteries and wipers before winter sets in. Older batteries can become faulty during the colder months, leaving drivers stranded.

When it comes to visibility, having a good set of wipers is a critical safety component in inclement weather. Getting them changed for winter is recommended if your wipers are more than a few years old.

Oil Changes and Antifreeze

You should follow your owner's manual and get routine oil changes. An oil change helps the engine operates at its best. We also recommend getting a top-off of all fluids, including antifreeze, to ensure you are ready for the colder months.
