Great Tips for Winter Car Care in the Greater Baltimore area
- A Good Set of Snow Tires Goes A Long Way!
Snowfall in Gaithersburg and Thurmont isn't quite as much as states further up the coast, but make no mistake that you still need reliable set of snow tires if you want to weather the winter with confidence. Snow tires use a special type of rubber than remains flexible even at freezing temperatures, helping you to maintain confident traction and control through ice, snow, and all manner of inclement weather. So, if you haven't done so yet, there's no better time to shop for snow tires than right now, and no better place to do so than our Chevy service center here in Frederick.
- Get Set Up With Winterized Windshield Washer Fluid
When winter storms start rolling through, expect the Department of Transportation to send out trucks full of salt and grit to cut through the ice. Unfortunately, all that grime is likely to end up coating both the roads and your windshield, and if you don't have winterized windshield wiper fluid, your attempts to clear it away on the go could leave you with a cloudy viewport and frozen windshield wiper blades. Fortunately, we have winter windshield washer fluid in ample supply here at our service center near Baltimore.
- Have Your Battery Tested
Extreme temperatures put excess strain on your car's battery and if it's not in good working order, it could very well fail on you in a cold snap. So, before Old Man Winter rolls through town, have your Chevy car's battery tested and replaced as necessary.
