At Blaise Alexander Mazda State College, we love how the changing of the seasons brings all kinds of fun changes to our surroundings. But winter also comes with its share of hazards on Pennsylvania roads. Don’t be caught unprepared in difficult conditions — here are the Mazda service steps you need to complete to make sure you’re ready to safely navigate the winter.
Take Care of Your Tires
Extreme weather in the winter months can do a number on your traction, so you’ll want to make sure your tires are up to the task. Check your tire tread or have a professional Mazda service technician double-check that you’ll be able to grip the road sufficiently in winter conditions. You’ll also want to make sure your tire pressure isn’t dropping to dangerous levels as the temperature lowers. Consider upgrading to winter seasonal tires, as well.
Check Your Battery
With snow piling up and temperatures dropping, now isn’t the time you want to be stuck with a dead battery. Cold weather drains the charge on a car battery, and condensation from temperature changes can cause condensation that rusts the leads, so get your battery checked and replaced if necessary.
Mind Your Undercarriage
Even for a high-quality Mazda vehicle, the normal wear and tear of driving can be vastly increased during winter months, largely due to an excess of road salt washing up on your suspension and undercarriage. Having your vehicle’s undercarriage inspected for signs of corrosion or wear can help maintain its long-term health.
