The Importance of Winter Vehicle Maintenance

Winters in Wisconsin can be brutal on your car or truck, especially if your vehicle has not been prepared for “below freezing” temperatures.
Two of the primary culprits of automotive failure during the cold winter months is battery and the cooling system failure .

Cooling System Maintenance

If you don’t remember the last time the antifreeze was checked in your car or truck, you need to have it done before extreme winter temperatures and harsh road conditions seriously damage your car’s engine.
Cooling system failure is the leading cause of engine overheating and related breakdowns.  In most cases engine overheating during the winter months is caused by two things:

• A faulty thermostat
• An external coolant leak

Have your cooling system checked to be certain that it is operating properly for Wisconsin’s cold winter temperatures.

Battery Maintenance

Did you know that the battery in your vehicle loses 33% of its power when temperatures dip below freezing?  Further, did you know that your battery loses over 50% of its power when temperatures fall below zero degrees?

During winter months your vehicle requires more power to turn over the engine, as well as to run the heater and defroster.  A weakened battery can easily fail to start your vehicle and leave you stranded in dangerously cold temperatures.
Having your battery tested is a wise investment and a very smart winter safety measure.

Don’t wait until it’s too late!

Bring your car or truck in to Pearl Street Automotive to ensure that it is prepared for the long, cold winter months.  Pearl Street Automotive offers affordable preventative winter vehicle maintenance to ensure that your not left out in the cold.  Simply present the Safe For The Holidays Coupon to SAVE 10% off labor!

from Pearl Street Automotive

Freezing temperatures can lead to unnecessary mechanical problems and expensive auto repairs and towing costs if you do not take the necessary preventative measures to ensure that your vehicle is mechanically sound throughout the winter months.  Often times our schedules can become very busy and before you know it comes the arrival of snow and the blistery cold temperatues.  Neglecting these necessities can result in unreliable transportation, as well as  hazardous operating conditions for you and your loved ones.

One of the most common mechanical failures during the cold winter months is that vehicles have trouble starting.  Often times numerous factors such as corroded battery connections, a weak battery, or even degraded engine oil can contribute to this dilemma and leave you standing out in the cold.  That is why having a simple winter maintenance inspection can help in preventing problems before they happen.

Although most of us would prefer not to drive during a snow storm, sometimes it simply cannot be avoided because we have to get to work, a business meeting, or to a friend or relative’s for the holidays.  Driving in these conditions can be especially dangerous when the salty slush from the road is thrown onto the windshield of your vehicle.  And nothing is worse than pushing the windshield washer button to clean your windshield and either it emits diluted washer fluid that applies an icy coat, or nothing happens because the lines are frozen altogether.  Certainly it has happened to everyone at least once and it can be very scary!  Unfortunately either one of these scenarios leave you hazardously braving your travels and placing yourself, loved ones, and other drivers in harms way.  Again, that is why having a simple winter maintenance inspection can help in preventing problems before they happen.

Pearl Street Automotive is more than happy to provide you with safe and affordable winter vehicle maintenance service to ensure that your winter driving experience is safe for everyone.
