Chevrolet Silverado truck driving in winter conditions

During the winter, frigid weather conditions can take a toll on your Chevrolet vehicle’s performance. Our Rick Weaver service technicians can perform several maintenance tasks on your vehicle to prepare it for wintertime driving. Our team at Rick Weaver Chevrolet highlights the top ways to winterize your vehicle.

Check Your Brakes

A functional braking system is essential for safe driving on snowy roads. Signs that indicate faulty brakes include vibrations and longer stopping distances. Our team can replace your brake pads and check damaged calipers during your brake inspection.

Get Your Headlights Inspected

Flickering or dimmed headlights can impact your visibility and safety when driving through snow. Our Chevrolet service team can check if your headlights are properly aligned. We can also replace their bulbs when they burn out.

Top Off Your Vehicle’s Fluids

During winter, your coolant prevents your engine from freezing in colder weather. If your coolant is running low or contaminated, our team can flush it out and top it off to its recommended level. We can also change your oil to keep your vehicle properly lubricated.

Test Your Battery

Colder weather can put extra strain on your battery. Our team can inspect it for corrosion or wear and tear. If your vehicle’s battery is more than three years old, consider replacing it.

Check Your Cabin’s Heater

A functional heating system can help you stay comfortable on cold nights. Test your heater’s fan speeds to ensure that its warm air circulates properly. If warm air isn’t blowing out of the heater, it could indicate a clogged heater core or low coolant levels.
