Just in case you haven’t noticed, winter has arrived here in the Ellicott City, MD region. Though the season hasn’t technically begun, we’re already seeing the cold temperatures, snow, and ice that are associated with the season. If the meteorologists are correct, we’re in store for a long winter, and besides stocking up on wool socks, gloves, and stocking hats, one vital step in getting prepared for this season involves winterizing your Mazda vehicle. If you care about keeping your car maintained, winterizing is an essential step, and here at Heritage Mazda Catonsville, the mechanics at our service are ready to winterize your car.
When the temperature drops below freezing and the roads become covered in snow and ice, your car faces additional challenges. The first of these is related to the battery. If you’ve ever been stuck in your garage on a cold morning because your car won’t start, you’ll know how frustrating it is. When the mercury drops below freezing, your battery can have a tougher time turning over, this means that it’s vital to ensure that it has enough charge to start. Luckily, the mechanics here at our Mazda service center are ready to help get your battery charged.
Another winter vehicle-related issues that occurs has to do with the antifreeze. You’ll want to ensure that the mixture of antifreeze and water is half-and-half, or else your car could have issues running. Finally, if you do a lot of driving in snow, like many Ellicott City, MD drivers do, we’d recommend getting snow tires installed. These provide more traction than standard all-season tires.
Stop by our Mazda service center at Heritage Mazda Catonsville to get your Mazda car winterized.
