Battery Service
No driver from Derby, KS wants to encounter starting trouble in cold conditions. Harsh temperatures can take their toll on a failing car battery, leading to persistent starting issues. Be sure your car battery is tested before winter. If the car battery is failing, we'll install a GM-backed ACDelco battery that will get you through winter without any headaches.
Fresh Fluids + Oil Change
Your truck needs fluids to run smoothly during the winter months. Fresh engine coolant, or antifreeze, is arguably the most important. Engine coolant is the best way for Park City, KS drivers to protect their engine against the cold elements.
A routine oil change before winter also goes a long way to ensure peak performance. We let Wichita drivers choose between full synthetic, conventional, or synthetic blend motor oil for their winter oil change. Other fluids may need to be flushed before winter. Important fluids include:
- Motor Oil
- Engine Coolant
- Brake Fluid
- Power & Steering Fluid
- Transmission Fluid
- Windshield Washer Fluid
Tires
New tires may be needed for winter driving around Wichita. For the best traction on slick roads around Wichita, Bel Aire, KS drivers can have a set of winter tires or snow tires installed. A pair or two of new tires are recommended if tire tread depth is balding or below 2/32 of an inch, which can be a safety hazard driving around Wichita in the winter.
Tire maintenance is a must no matter what. Cold weather in Wichita can lead to a loss in tire pressure. Have us inspect each tire and determine its PSI. We'll inflate tires back to where they should be. A routine tire rotation before winter helps Park City, KS drivers get more even tire wear.
Brakes
Be weary of reaching a complete stop on snowy or icy roads around Wichita this winter. Slick road conditions have a direct effect on braking. Only fully functioning brakes can protect Park City, KS drivers when they need to come to a complete stop at any moment's notice. Have us perform a brake inspection in Wichita to determine if any pads, rotors, calipers, or additional components require repairs or replacements.
Windshield Wipers
Several forms of wintry precipitation may fall in Wichita, where everything from snow to freezing rain is common. All winter precipitation can worsen driving visibility as Park City, KS drivers navigate Wichita streets. We recommend a new set of windshield wiper blades to combat the elements this winter.
Heating System + Lights
The best way for Bel Aire, KS drivers to stay warm is with a working heating system. They also need a clear view of the road ahead around Wichita, which the defroster helps with. Have us test the defroster and heating systems at our GM service center in Wichita.
There are also fewer daylight hours for Derby, KS motorists to drive in throughout winter, making lights all the more important. We can replace any bulbs that have gone out. Have us inspect all exterior lights before winter.
