Getting Your Car Winter Ready: Top Auto Service Tips at Commonwealth Kia

As winter approaches, it's time to prepare your vehicle for the cold and challenging months ahead. At Commonwealth Kia, we specialize in getting your car ready for winter, ensuring it stays safe and reliable on icy roads. Whether you're from Methuen, Haverhill, Andover, North Andover, Lowell, or Salem, NH, our expert technicians are here to help with all your winter auto service needs.

1. Check and Replace Your Tires

Winter roads can be hazardous with ice and snow. Ensuring you have adequate tire traction is critical. We recommend switching to winter tires or checking the tread on your all-season tires. At Commonwealth Kia, we offer comprehensive tire inspections and can help you choose the best winter tires for your vehicle.

2. Inspect Your Battery

Cold weather can weaken your car’s battery, making it harder to start. A dead battery can leave you stranded, so let our technicians test your battery’s charge and replace it if necessary, ensuring your vehicle starts reliably even in freezing conditions.

3. Top Off Fluids and Switch to Winter-Grade Oil

Coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid are vital to your car’s performance in winter. Additionally, we recommend using winter-grade oil to protect your engine in colder temperatures. Commonwealth Kia provides a complete fluid top-off service to keep your car running smoothly all winter long.

4. Brake Inspection

Slippery roads require strong, reliable brakes. Our team will inspect your brake pads and rotors, ensuring you can stop quickly and safely, even on icy or snowy roads.

5. Replace Wiper Blades and Refill Washer Fluid

Visibility is key to winter driving. Old wiper blades can leave streaks and obstruct your view. We’ll replace your wiper blades and top off your washer fluid with a winter-grade solution, preventing freezing and ensuring a clear windshield in harsh conditions.

6. Check Your Heater and Defroster

Your heater and defroster are crucial for both comfort and safety. We'll inspect your heating system and defroster to ensure they’re working efficiently, keeping you warm and your windows clear during the coldest days.

7. Protect Your Car with Winter Coatings

Winter road salt and grime can damage your car’s exterior. We offer protective coatings to shield your vehicle from rust and corrosion, helping it maintain its appearance and structural integrity throughout the season.
