Winter Is Here & It's Time to Prepare Your Volkswagen Car or SUV
Winter has arrived, and it's important to make sure your Volkswagen is ready to handle the cold weather and challenging driving conditions. Proper winter maintenance will help keep your VW running smoothly and safely all season long. We're the reliable team to trust for VW winter maintenance in Riverhead.
Check and Change Fluids
One key aspect of winter maintenance is checking your Volkswagen's fluid levels and changing them as needed. This includes motor oil, coolant, wiper fluid, and transmission fluid. Old or low fluids can impact performance and potentially cause damage, especially in frigid temperatures. Get an oil change or a fluid top-off before getting too deep into winter.
Inspect Tires and Replace If Needed
Your Volkswagen's tires are critical for maintaining traction and stability on icy or snow-covered roads around Coram. Inspect the tread depth and look for signs of wear or damage. If your tires are worn or not rated for winter conditions, it's time for a replacement. Our Volkswagen service and parts departments can help you find the right winter tires for your specific VW model to keep you safe on your Long Island commute that starts in Sayville.
Test Battery Charge and Inspect Belts & Hoses
Cold weather can be tough on your Volkswagen's battery. Have your battery tested to ensure it holds a strong charge and can handle the increased demand from the starter and other electrical components in winter. While under the hood, our technicians will also inspect the belts and hoses for any cracks, fraying, or leaks that could lead to bigger problems down the line.
Check Wiper Blades and Replace If Worn
Wintry precipitation can lead to low visibility driving around Medford, NY. As part of our VW maintenance check, we will examine your windshield wiper blades to see if they are cracked or show signs of deterioration. If your wipers streak or leave patches of moisture on the windshield, it's time for a new set. We stock wiper blades designed to handle heavy snow and keep your windshield clear.
