Get Ready for Winter ➤
Engine
Winters and cold weather are particularly tough on engines. You should take care of dirty air filters and have a checkup of your engine before winter hits. If your check engine light is on, it should be taken of before winter.
Fuel
Putting a bottle of de-icer into your fuel helps to take the moisture out of your fuel, which can freeze in your tank or lines during a very cold day.
Oil
Before winter, you should get an oil change. Even if you haven’t quite hit the mileage for a change, it’s never a bad idea to change your oil and the oil filter before the cold weather sets in.
Cooling Systems
Your cooling system should be flushed out and filled back up every two years or so. We recommend using a mix of 50% antifreeze and 50% water for winter weather.
Wipers
Check your blades. If your blades are worn down, they should be replaced.
Heater/Defroster
These should be in good working order. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can easily be replaced. Check your owner’s manual to see if yours has this filter. If you need your car heater repaired, please reach out to us at AutoTek.
Battery
AutoTek can check your battery in a matter of minutes. We’ll give you a receipt that shows you how much charge is left in the battery, as well as perform a visual inspection for corrosion, posts, and connections.
Lights
All lights and bulbs should be cleaned so that you can see and be visible to other motorists.
Tires
Having good tires during winter is one of the best things that you can do for your car. Between ice and slush, worn tires just won’t do, even if you have solid brakes. If you need brake repair, a tire replacement, or even a tire alignment, Autotek can help.
Prepare for Summer in Raleigh, NC
Air Conditioning AutoTek can take care of all aspects of your A/C system. We suggest testing out the A/C in your vehicle before you actually need it. That way, you’ll know if you need to call a professional for auto air conditioning repair services before you need to rely on the unit for cool air.
Oil
Depending on how frequently you drive and when your last oil change was, you may need to make an appointment before summer sets in. Chances are that you may be traveling more frequently and for longer durations than normal in summer, so having fresh oil is a must.
We also recommend checking over your brakes, wipers, tires, lights, battery, and other key vehicle features.
