As winter sets in, Grease Monkey, 110 S. CM Allen Parkway, is offering tips for helping drivers stay safe on the road.
Based on the changing weather conditions, Grease Monkey has highlighted the following preventive maintenance measures that drivers need to keep in mind when it comes to operating a safe vehicle:
- Battery Check: Cold weather can drain battery performance and increase the risk of failure, potentially leaving you stranded. Schedule a quick battery test to ensure it’s fully charged and ready for winter.
- Tire Pressure: Dropping temperatures cause tire pressure to fall, reducing traction and control. Check your tire pressure regularly and keep it at the manufacturer’s recommended PSI for safe handling.
- Visibility: Clear vision is critical in winter conditions. Replace worn wiper blades with winter-ready versions and upgrade dim headlights or refinish lenses to maximize visibility on the road.
- Fluids: Routine oil changes are essential, but don’t overlook other fluids. Brake, transmission, coolant, and windshield washer fluids all play a vital role in vehicle safety and longevity - make sure they’re topped off.
