Winter Maintenance Checklist

Winter is back in Mishawaka, and that means a whole new set of challenges for your vehicle. Not only will you have to contend with snow and ice, but your vehicle will need to work harder to overcome frigid temperatures and inclement conditions. A great way to make sure that you and your Lexus make it through winter without a hiccup is preventative winter maintenance, which addresses potential problems before they can ruin your day.  

Battery 

Having a dead battery on a cold, snowy night is a definite worst-case scenario. It’s also a pretty easy situation to avoid. When you bring your luxury vehicle into Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka for maintenance, we’ll test your battery to ensure it makes enough cold cranking amps to get you through the cold days and nights ahead. If it’s not strong enough, we’ll quickly install a new battery that will do the job for you. If you haven’t had a new battery installed in the past three to five years, you may be due.

Tires

Snow, ice, and frigid asphalt can make driving in the winter feel especially perilous. To give yourself the best handle on the situation, you’ll want to make sure your tires are in good shape. Check the tread depth and air pressure and make sure everything is up to par. If you’re due for a rotation or balancing, the experts at Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka can get you squared away in no time at all.

If you want added confidence, consider swapping out your regular tires for a set of winter-specific tires. Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka has winter tires from trustworthy brands, and your purchase includes mounting, balancing, and installation as well as 24 months of Road Hazard Coverage.

 

Wipers

Are you replacing your wiper blades 6-12 months? You should be. A great way to make sure that you’re sticking to a regular wiper blade replacement schedule is to plan to upgrade to a new pair every November or December. Doing this means having optimal visibility during the time of year where you’ll likely need it the most. When you visit Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka, we’ll let you know which blades work the best for your vehicle and install them for your during your regularly scheduled service appointment. 

Lights

With the sun setting earlier, you’ll be making more use of your headlights on the drive home from work. Make sure that all of your vehicle’s exterior lights are functioning, including the high beams, fog lamps, taillights, and brake lights. If you have a bulb out, the pros at Jordan Lexus of Mishawaka can replace it for you hassle-free.
