Ford Winter Service Tips and Tricks in Lansing, MI

The Top Ten List of Ford Wintertime Services

1. Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection: Windshields can crack or chip when impacted by small rocks and other debris, so it’s best to get those taken care of before the cold weather comes.
2. HVAC Inspection: Getting your HVAC systems inspected ensures that you will stay warm during the winter, especially when we check your heater, defrost, steering wheel warmers, and seat warmers.
3. Check/Replace Engine Coolant and Antifreeze: In order to regulate temperature appropriately, your engine needs the right levels of coolant and antifreeze.
4. Check Wiper Blades: Windshield wiper blades have a tendency to break or degrade, so you want yours working at full capacity in the winter weather.
5. Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend: Non-winter blends can freeze when you use them on your cold windshield, and that doesn’t help with the dirtiness or your visibility.
6. Brake Inspection: Brakes are key to your control of your vehicle, especially in ice and snow.
7. Battery Inspection: Knowing that your battery is working properly can give you peace of mind about your startups and electrical systems.
8. Battery Testing: It’s best to test your battery and find out whether or not it should be replaced before it gives out.
9. Tire Inspection: We can give your tire tread and pressure a look as well as provide snow tires should you need them.
10. Roadside Safety Kit: It’s best to put together a roadside emergency kit so that you’re fully prepared for the worst in the winter weather.
