When you’re getting yourself ready for winter in Illinois, make sure that you get your vehicle ready, too! One of the most important things you can do is to pack an emergency kit to keep in your vehicle. This should include tools and a first aid kit, as well as items like warm blankets, spare clothes, a shovel, road salt or sand, food and water supplies, and more. For other ways to prepare, bring your vehicle to DuPage Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, serving Wheaton and Bloomingdale. We can help get your car, truck, minivan, or SUV ready with the following services.
In snowy and icy conditions, it can take longer to bring your vehicle to a stop. Make sure your brakes are in top condition so that you won’t have to deal with any extra delay.
Your tires’ treads legally have to be at least 2/32″ deep, but it’s better to change them before winter if they’re approaching that level. If you alternate between summer tires and snow tires, now is the time to make the switch.
Batteries have a harder time keeping their charge in the cold, so have your battery tested before the worst of the cold weather hits. This is a good way to avoid being stranded!
If the wiper blades are in poor condition, it will be much more difficult to see. If your wiper blades need to be replaced, we offer MOPAR wiper blades here.
Checking the coolant and replacing it if necessary is vital. If it has begun to break down, overheating is even more likely.
The HVAC system does more than just keep you warm: it can help you defrost and defog your windshield. Of course, staying warm is important, too!
That small chip or crack in the windshield could turn into a big problem once the freeze/thaw cycle sets in. Have it repaired before it spreads in the cold.
Before the coldest winter weather hits, make sure your washer fluid reservoir is filled with winter blend windshield washer fluid.
