How to Get Your Car Winter Ready in Maple, ON
If you do most of your driving in or around the Maple, ON area, then you know how trying winter can be for your car and your daily commute. Luckily, Maple Honda can help you get your vehicle winter ready with the following tips, and you can entrust our Service Centre with any maintenance your car needs before the snow, slush, and ice of winter arrive.
Firstly, we recommend getting your oil changed on your next visit to our Service Centre, so your engine can stay healthy and reliable during the trying winter months. Secondly, we strongly suggest checking and replacing your wiper blades and topping up your washer fluid, as they'll both see a lot of action on your winter commutes. Perhaps most importantly, it's best to fit your vehicle with a set of winter tires, as their pliable rubber compound and tread patterns are made to help you stay in control on snowy, icy roads. Luckily, our Maple Honda Tire Centre can provide you with the recommended winter tires for your car, and our technicians will gladly install them for you.
Speaking of tires, remember to check their pressure regularly throughout the winter season, as extreme weather can affect tire pressure and tarnish your traction. We also suggest bringing us your car for a winter tune-up, and we'll ensure that its vital fluids are topped off and that all your vehicle's key systems and components are in good shape, so you can enjoy a safe, stress-free winter. Lastly, we recommend keeping an emergency kit in your trunk with flashlights, batteries, salt, non-perishable snacks, jumper cables, a small shovel, an ice-scraper, a portable phone charger, and extra washer fluid, as these will all come in handy if ever you're in a jam and waiting for roadside assistance.
