Preparing Your Vehicle for Winter
When the cold winter winds blow out of the Spring Mountains, cars often stall and stop working in the Las Vegas Valley. The certified technicians at Findlay Chevrolet in Las Vegas can ensure your car is fully prepared for all that a Nevada winter can throw at it. Here’s a closer look at how we can help you prepare your car for winter.
Battery and Fluids
The wintertime temperatures often drop well below freezing in Nevada – especially when traveling in the mountains. Cold weather kills batteries and can make engine blocks freeze up if your anti-freeze is low. We can check, fill or change your antifreeze and other fluids to ensure you are good for winter. We also can ensure your battery has enough cold-cranking amps to start your car – or replace your battery with one that will.
Tires and Brakes
We also can check your tires and brakes to make sure you will get good traction and stay under control. Winter can put snow rain or ice on local roadways, and your tires and brakes need to be in their best shape to handle changing conditions.
