It takes some work to adjust to the winter season, and some of that effort should go toward winterizing your car. The varying seasons provide a challenge to your vehicle, whether you drive a Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, or Cadillac vehicle. No matter where you live in Fishkill, cold weather can damage your car, truck, or SUV. Several factors are involved in keeping your vehicle running properly. Any maintenance concerns you neglect can become serious repair issues in the New York winter.
Battery Inspection
Cold weather can significantly reduce the power output and life of a battery. One of the technicians at our service center at Healey Chevrolet in Poughkeepsie can check the battery's performance when the weather becomes colder. If necessary, they will replace the battery if it is low on power or more than five years old.
Heating System Inspection
It is only good to drive around in cold Beacon weather with a properly working heating system. Our technicians can inspect the heating system to ensure everything is working.
Brake Inspection
Brakes will keep you in control on slick Wappingers Falls roads. At any time of year, worn brakes can be an issue, but wet weather increases driving risks. We can check the brakes for any problems and perform any repair work to ensure you can drive safely.
Tire Inspection
When you visit our service center, our technicians can check the condition of your tires to ensure you can drive on them safely. For example, they will check for bulging, low tread wear, and cracking and replace them if they are damaged. They can also switch your tires to winter tires if you live around Hopewell Junction, an area prone to snow.
