Winter puts your car to the test, so it’s good to be prepared for any problems that might come up. Our Mazda service team at Sansone Mazda is here to help make sure you’re ready for the colder season.
Prepare a Safety Kit
A breakdown is never opportune, but in the middle of a New Jersey winter, it can be dangerous. Be prepared by packing a safety kit, including a personal heater of some kind, a flashlight, and an ice scraper and snow brush. Flares may be essential if you’re stranded away from a major road, and a first aid kit is always a good idea. Finally, make sure you have a battery bank for any dead phones.
Check Your Tires
If your tires have seen better days, winter is a great opportunity to get them changed out. All-season tires use compounds that can respond badly to temperatures around freezing, so switching to winter tires for the colder months can help you maintain traction all season. Good tires are especially essential when the temperature is closer to freezing, as the half-melted ice is even more slippery than at colder temperatures.
Come In for a Tune-Up
Winter can be hard on any part of your car, so it’s a good idea to have our team ensure every part is at the top of its game. Batteries are infamous for dying during cold weather, and belts, hoses, and windshield wiper blades all need to be checked for damage or a lack of connection. We’ll top off essential fluids like wiper fluid and antifreeze, too.
