We’ve already experienced winter weather in Owings Mills, and it’s not even winter yet! Before the really bad weather gets here, you have to be sure your car is able to handle it. To do this, our Mercedes-Benz service center has some tips for you.
Check Your Tires
When roads become slick, you will be very thankful that your tires are giving you the best possible traction. If your treads are low, consider getting a new set. You may also want to consider using snow tires for the next several months.
Inspect Your Brakes
Good brakes go hand-in-hand with good tires. It’s vital that your braking system gives you the best possible stopping power, which is why it should be closely inspected. If something needs to be replaced – like brake pads – doing it early can save you problems later on.
Test Your Battery
Batteries have to work harder in freezing temperatures. To ensure that you’ll be able to count on yours no matter how cold it gets, have it tested. If the charge is low, think about getting a replacement.
Get New Windshield Wipers
Your wipers play a critical role in keeping your windshield clear from snow, sleet, and freezing rain. If they’re ragged or have trouble clearing precipitation, you’ll want to get a new set. You should also be sure that you always have enough wiper fluid.
