Pennsylvania winters deserve to be taken seriously. When the weather turns cold, you might break out the coat and gloves–but how do you make sure your vehicle is ready? At Chapman Ford of Horsham, serving Willow Grove and Fort Washington, we’re here to help. We’ve put together a list of services you can do to help prepare your Ford for the winter months.
Get a Tire Inspection
The tires on your Ford play a huge role in your safety, and this is especially evident when roads are slick. Head to Chapman Ford of Horsham for a tire inspection, and we’ll make sure that your tires are in good condition and have sufficient tread to keep you safe. If you have summer tires, have them switched to winter tires.
Get a Brake Inspection
When roads are slick, the brakes can take longer to work. To help keep yourself safe, bring your Ford in for a brake inspection so we can ensure that everything is working as it should.
Change Your Windshield Wiper Blades
You should change your wiper blades about once a year, and before winter is the perfect time to do so. We have OEM wiper blades at Chapman Ford of Horsham and will be glad to install them for you.
Have Your HVAC System Inspected
The HVAC system can keep you comfortable on cold days, but it does more than that. It can also help defrost and defog your windows and windshield for improved visibility.
Get a Coolant Check and Exchange
Coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze that keeps your engine from overheating. Antifreeze is present to make sure that the coolant flows even in cold weather. If your vehicle needs a coolant change, don’t put it off.
Have Your Car Battery Tested
Cold weather negatively affects car batteries’ ability to hold a charge. This means that a battery that seemed OK in summer might give out in winter. To avoid being stranded in the cold, we can check your vehicle’s battery at Chapman Ford of Horsham, serving Glenside, PA.
Check Your Windshield for Chips and Cracks
If your windshield has any cracks or chips, freezing weather could make them worse, having them spread across the windshield. Many chips and cracks can be repaired at Chapman Ford of Horsham, serving Doylestown.
Change the Washer Fluid to Winter Blend
There are winter-specific blends of windshield washer fluid that perform better in cold weather. Switching to this blend is an easy way to improve visibility.
