The chilly Michigan winter is fast approaching, and Thelen Auto Group in Bay City, MI wants your vehicle to be ready to handle the snow and ice with confidence. Scheduling a full check of your vehicle with us is the best way to ensure your vehicle is winterized. Your car, truck or SUV must work harder to operate at peak efficiency during the winter and the colder temperatures. Therefore, checking areas such as the battery, oil and tires are vital to keeping you safe once the chillier months arrive.
An old or damaged battery can be an issue when the temperature starts to plummet. An insufficient battery can lead to your vehicle not starting and all the inconvenience that brings. Thelen Auto Group suggests at least having your battery checked before the winter arrives, while also considering changing your battery if it is old or found to be damaged in some way. Similarly, not placing importance on ensuring your vehicle’s oil is properly changed and topped off can lead to issues during colder weather. Combining your battery check with a routine oil change can be the perfect way to get your vehicle prepared for winter.
Your tires are the last line of defense against dangerous road conditions such as ice or snow. Old tires with little to no tread are unable to grip the driving surface properly. In situations where having lots of grip can ensure the driver safely navigates the road in front of them, new winter tires are a necessity. We recommend checking your tires for proper tread depth or having them replaced for special winter tires. If you are unsure whether your tires are safe to drive on, our knowledgeable Service Department professionals are happy to check for you!
