Basics of Winter Auto Care

At Truck City Service, we believe in starting with the essentials for the safe winter operation of your vehicle.

 

  • HVAC Inspection

    A full HVAC inspection is essential to ensure your heater and defroster are working properly. We review these features for vehicles with bonus accessories, such as seat warmers and steering wheel warmers, to make sure the entire season is comfortable.

  • Antifreeze Check

    We also recommend checking your antifreeze/coolant to ensure it is ready for a season of below-freezing temperatures.

  • Tires

    If you prefer to use snow tires or require their use in the winter, we can assist with a transition. We are also ready to provide an essential pre-winter tire check to ensure your tires are properly inflated, rotated, and free of alignment issues. At Truck City Service, we also offer the WinAlign Heavy-Duty Alignment System. We are the only location for this system in north Colorado. The closest alternate location is Denver.

  • Windshield Wipers and Fluid

    Other points to review include switching to winter windshield washer fluid, checking wiper blades, and reviewing the windshield for vulnerable cracks and chips.

  • Battery

    A battery check is also necessary to determine if a replacement battery is needed before cold weather reduces the cold-cranking ability.

Preparing a Winter Safety Kit

Part of winter preparation is acknowledging the impossible could happen. You may experience a vehicle emergency or be trapped in a traffic jam or winter weather. This makes a winter emergency kit a particularly important necessity for your car. Include your basics, such as a first aid kit, easily accessible snacks, bottled water, blankets, gloves, and other warming necessities. You can also pack a flashlight, flares, basic car care items, a multi-tool, and booster cables. If you routinely travel with multiple passengers, always include enough blankets and provisions for each person.
