Wintertime travels in the Waterford area can really test your car’s ability to start and run reliably well. The first sub-freezing temperatures tend to kill batteries, and wintry driving conditions could leave you stuck or worse during the worst of wintertime weather conditions. Our timely Toyota winter services will prepare just about any make or model vehicle for the worst that winter can throw at you.
Ensure Strong Starts and the Best Traction
The first thing we always check is your battery and charging system. If your battery will not take a full charge, we install a new one to not die on a freezing night. We make sure the cables to the alternator and starter motor are in good shape and check and change the alternator belt and serpentine belt if they show signs of dry rot and might snap while driving in Detroit.
Mount and Balance Snow Tires
You need good snow tires to cut through snow, slush, and ice while giving you the best possible traction in bad weather that you might come across in Bloomfield, MI. Our tire center has a full range of snow tires to replace your all-season radials and give you better wintertime traction. We also will check and mount durable wiper blades that push through snow and slush and replace your windshield wiper fluid with a winter blend with deicer.
Flush and Antifreeze and Change the Thermostat
Another standard winter service is to flush and fill your radiator with antifreeze that will withstand subzero temperatures and prevent your engine block from freezing up. We will check and change the hoses and can put in a hotter thermostat that enables the heater to flow hotter air. Our Szott M-59 Toyota parts center near Rochester, MI has a wide selection of OEM and aftermarket thermostats and other parts for the best fit.
