Winter’s here—the season for saving money and staying warm. But cold weather can be brutal to your car’s health. If you visit your dealer for some routine maintenance, you’ll cruise with confidence when the sun comes out. Here are some things your expert dealer mechanic will check:

  • Does your car need a bath? Rock salt build-up will corrode your car’s paint job, wheel wells, etc. Your dealer’s wash service uses mild detergent that’s specially selected for your car, guaranteeing that brand-new look.
  • Your battery and fluids. Make sure your battery is strong against the chill, and you have enough wiper fluid to wash away debris.
  • Wipers. Now that you’re using your wipers more than ever, make sure those blades are in top shape.
  • Brakes. Winter driving can be an adventure, so make sure you’re able to stop on a dime.
  • Are your filters clean? Change dirty, moist air filters to maximize your heating efficiency and keep your car smelling fresh.

Let your dealer winterize your car now, and when summer comes you’ll have more cash to play with when you hit the open road.
