We’re all planning for Thanksgiving dinner, so winter is on the way here in New Jersey. With all the rest of your holiday prep, don’t forget about Chevy service in Toms River. These quick steps with our team at Lester Glenn Chevrolet will help you keep moving through March so you can focus on making memories, not an expensive breakdown.
Test Your Battery
Freezing temperatures push battery chemistry to its limits, especially after a warm summer. This is the perfect time to have our team test your battery’s capacity to ensure it can reliably start, no matter how cold it gets outside. This is also a great time to check your coolant and make sure you’re using windshield washer fluid formulated for freezing temperatures.
Check Your Tires
When temperatures drop, the air pressure decreases, including inside your tires. That means that your tires lose about 1 PSI for every ten-degree drop in the ambient temperature, which can compromise their performance right when icy roads mean you need it the most. In addition to checking your tire pressure, you’ll want to make sure your tires have been regularly rotated and have enough tread for the drives ahead.
Pack an Emergency Kit
No matter how well you prepare, there’s always a chance you’ll have a car issue at the most inconvenient time. It’s always a good idea to have an emergency kit on board with reflectors, jumper cables, an ice scraper, and materials to keep warm. If you’re not sure what to pack, ask our team about available Chevrolet highway safety kits, then supplement your kit with winter-specific essentials such as an ice scraper and warm blankets.
