First Steps To Take To Ensure You Are Winter ready
Book in a Winter Inspection
As the temperature drops, that’s when problems reveal themselves. To ensure that you’re not stung by any nasty surprises that leave you stranded in the snow, you need to ensure you get the following things checked out ASAP
- A brake fluid & brake system inspection
- An inspection of your lights
- An oil change
- A coolant inspection to ensure optimal heat

Next, Protect your vehicle from Rust
After the completion of your service and any repairs, now is the time to get your vehicle cleaned and detailed for winter so that you can get your undercoating done before the first snow falls. Rust is a serious issue for vehicles in winter. The damage caused can ruin body panels and compromise the strength and rigidity of your vehicle’s frame. You can prevent this by ensuring that you have adequate undercoating done in advance.
You can arrange to have vehicle undercoating done at your nearest Car Detailing Service.
