We’re writing this one day after a thick, snowball-friendly white blanket descended on Chicagoland. There are several conclusions to be drawn, one of which is that Christmas is, amazingly, only three weeks away. A second conclusion is that if you were on the fence regarding winterizing your RAM truck near Chicago, IL, it’s time to climb down and visit our Glenview, IL RAM dealership to get your vehicle winterized and ready to roll come snow, sleet, or slush.
There are many things our experienced service department can do to prep your car for the winter ahead. We’ll of course check your battery, and if it’s low on juice we’ll replace it with one from our high-quality parts inventory. And speaking of checking and potentially replacing, we’ll also take a thorough look at your belts and cables and inspect them for any cracks or tears. These annoyances are exacerbated by cold temperatures, so it’s best to nip them in the bud and get a new belt/cable in before one snaps while you’re driving on the Kennedy.
Winter tires are another item we’ll discuss with you. A new or used RAM truck near Evanston, IL may not need winter tires to navigate snowy, slippery roads, nor a Jeep® Trailhawk, but if you’re driving a Dodge Dart, a Chrysler 200, or a Dodge Challenger, you may want to make the investment. Winter tires provide much better traction than regular tires (even all-season tires) and they’re more resistant to bitter temps. They’re also more durable, which is good to know if you encounter one of the many cracks and holes that will inevitably appear on your favorite roads this winter.
Visit our Glenview, IL Dodge dealership today and let’s talk further about the many benefits of winterizing!
