Cooler Weather Tips for Mid-Michigan Driving Enjoyment
Stock Blankets/Cold-Weather Items – Having a blanket or two in your vehicle when the weather gets cold is great for a variety of reasons. Not only is it a necessity if you find yourself stranded in cold weather, but you can also have one at all times if the moment requires it. Going to watch a Christmas parade later this year? Having a blanket to stay bundled up in is always a great addition! A spare set of mittens or gloves in the vehicle is also a good idea if you find you need them quickly.
Consider Winter Tires – As the weather begins to introduce the likelihood of snow later this year, you might want to consider having a set of winter tires installed on your vehicle. These special tires are designed to make traversing snow-covered roads easier by displacing more snow with their tread depth and design. Have a technician from any of our dealerships help you determine if purchasing a set of winter tires is a good idea for your vehicle.
Keep Up on Maintenance – Areas of your vehicle such as air filters and the battery should be evaluated after the hot summer months. When you schedule an appointment at any of the Thelen Auto Group Service Centers, you can be confident that we will give your vehicle a thorough evaluation. We will also be happy to replace these components if needed with factory-recommended options to maximize the performance and overall longevity of your vehicle going into autumn and winter!
