Between snowfalls and holidays, the winter season can be magical. Of course, it isn’t just beautiful, it can be dangerous too, especially on the road. Preparing your vehicle with Jeep® service at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Glenview can help.

Inspect Your Tires

Good tires are crucial in the winter months. You need at least 6/32 of an inch of tread to have the traction you need for icy or snowy streets. It’s also important to keep your tires properly inflated since the cold weather can affect them. If your tires are starting to bald, consider replacing them with winter tires.

Test Your Battery

The cold weather can also strain your battery. You’ll need a fully charged battery to start your car in the cold. We recommend having your battery tested to make sure that it’s in peak condition, and if it’s not up to the task, let our technicians replace it.

Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades

Between the snow falling and morning ice, windshield wipers often put in overtime in the winter months. If you haven’t recently, you should have yours replaced to make sure that they can clear your windshield completely. This is also a relatively easy DIY task.

Change Your Engine Oil

With the harsh conditions and temperatures, your engine can struggle throughout the winter months. Plus, it can take longer for your engine oil to heat up, which reduces its effectiveness. We encourage you to replace your engine oil to make it as efficient as possible.

Pack an Emergency Kit

With inclement weather, you can never be too prepared. We encourage you to pack an emergency kit to keep handy in your SUV:

  • Sand or kitty litter
  • Small shovel
  • Ice scraper
  • Blanket
  • Jumper cables
  • First aid kit
  • Bottled water and snacks
