Winterizing Your Buick Vehicle
Winter is finally here, and Buick service should be on everyone’s mind. Properly preparing your vehicle for the cold means bringing it to McGuire Buick GMC for essential service. Make sure you’ve addressed these maintenance tasks on your winter service checklist.
Engine
If your engine isn’t properly maintained, it can be damaged by winter chill or refuse to start. In addition to letting it warm up before you drive, you should ensure it maintains the proper temperature while you’re on the road. You should also check your antifreeze level and fill the reservoir with a colder-weather formulation to avoid temperature-based damage.
HVAC
Your Buick vehicle’s heating and ventilation system will be crucial for staving off the cold during the winter season. If you’ve noticed a problem with your heating, such as low heat, odd sounds, or unusual smells, you must schedule a Buick service visit as soon as possible.
Battery
Your battery will pull double duty in the cold New Jersey winter, so it’s a good idea to perform a load test to ensure it’s holding a charge. You should also check for corrosion and replace your battery if it isn’t functioning correctly.
Lights
If one of your car’s bulbs isn’t working correctly, it’s time to schedule a Buick service visit. Winter sunsets happen earlier in the day, so you’ll be driving in the dark longer, meaning you’ll need effective headlights and brake lights.
Tires
Drivers should periodically check their tire pressure during the winter, as colder temperatures will cause them to deflate. Keeping your tires at optimal air pressure ensures even wear and tear and provides better traction on icy roads.
