Essential Post-Winter Checks for Your Vehicle
- Brakes: Winter driving demands frequent braking, which can accelerate wear on pads and rotors
- Battery: Cold temperatures strain your battery, so testing its charge and connections is crucial
- Fluids: Check and top off all essential fluids including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid
- Wipers: Replace worn wiper blades that may have been damaged by ice and snow
- Undercarriage: Inspect for rust and salt damage that accumulated during winter months
Many Madison drivers are surprised by the damage road salt can cause to their vehicle's undercarriage. A professional inspection ensures nothing is overlooked.
