Essential Car Tune-ups



The winter weather places a different burden on car systems than summer. We’ll be going through a list of things that you should look out for and improve in order to ensure this winter isn’t one where you’re left waiting for help. Here are the essential car tune-ups you need to know.

Car Tune-ups You Need To Know

Tire tread

You will need tires with good quality tire tread throughout winter. Although it may be obvious that you need good tires, many don’t know how they can be checked. If you can see the valleys or ridges in your tire treads then it’s time to replace them.

Another thing to watch out for is deterioration on either the inside or outside of your tire. These conditions indicate that your wheels need to be aligned. Make sure your tires are properly inflated for winter according to the manufacturer. If you’re not sure what to do, bring your vehicle to a trusted car mechanic.

Car battery

Checking that your battery is good is another important car maintenance task for Winter. Batteries that have stopped working well are the most common problem we see. Old batteries can cause problems such as difficulty starting your car and electrical problems. You can have your battery checked by many auto repair shops to see how long it is still good. This is something you should take care of.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks

Carbon monoxide can leak from your exhaust and cause serious damage to your car, as well as your health if you have your windows up in Winter.

Without proper training and tools, this one can be difficult to spot. Reputable auto repair shops should be able to inspect your tailpipes and muffler for any leaks or other problems.

Car Fluids

It is essential to have your car tuned up. This includes replacing engine oil, brake fluids, and coolant. Winter is a good time to replace your auto fluids more often to ensure that the interior parts of your car are ready for use.

Prepare

You should also be prepared for Winter’s problems by having emergency supplies in your car, just in case you are stranded somewhere.
