Winter Wear Shows Up Fast

Winter doesn’t ease into your vehicle – it stresses it. Cold starts, icy roads, potholes, and road salt all take a toll, often in ways drivers don’t notice right away. That’s why January is a smart time to bring your vehicle in for routine auto service and catch issues early.

Cold Temperatures Expose Weak Spots
Low temperatures can quickly reveal problems with batteries, tires, and engine components. If your battery is aging or your tire pressure hasn’t been checked recently, winter will let you know – usually at the worst possible moment. A quick inspection now can prevent breakdowns later.

Winter Roads Are Hard on Tires and Alignment
Potholes, uneven pavement, and frozen roads can knock your alignment out of spec and cause uneven tire wear. January is a great time for:

• Tire rotation

• Pressure checks

• Alignment inspection

• Wheel and rim evaluation

These services help your tires last longer and keep your vehicle handling safely in winter conditions.

Brake and Suspension Checks Matter More in Winter
Brakes and suspension components work harder on slick roads. Moisture and road salt can accelerate wear, making inspections especially important this time of year. Addressing small issues early helps avoid bigger, more expensive repairs.

Get Ahead of Spring Repairs
Catching wear and tear now helps prevent a long list of repairs when warmer weather arrives. Routine maintenance in January keeps your vehicle reliable, protects your investment, and gives you peace of mind through the rest of winter.

A short service visit now can make a big difference in how your vehicle performs all season long.
