Winter will be here before you know it in Sterling, VA, and that means it's time to make sure your vehicle is ready to handle the harsh weather and difficult driving conditions. There are several steps you can take to prepare your car for safe winter driving.
First, check your tires to ensure they have sufficient tread and are inflated to the proper pressure. Good tires are essential for maintaining traction on slick, snowy roads. It's also wise to have your battery tested, as cold temperatures can reduce its cranking power. If it's more than a few years old, consider replacing it preemptively.
Next, check all your vehicle's fluid levels, including the coolant, which prevents your engine from freezing. Top off any that are low. For extra assurance that your vehicle is winter-ready, bring it to our service center at Subaru of Sterling. Our technicians can inspect your vehicle bumper-to-bumper and perform any needed maintenance so you can hit the Sterling roads with confidence this winter.
