We’re happy that you think of our Honda dealership when you’re looking for a new Honda for sale such as the 2017 Honda Accord. While that does put a smile on our faces, we also want you to think of our location whenever your automobile needs a repair or routine maintenance. We have a state-of-the-art Honda service center and our factory-trained technicians can keep your car running the way it’s supposed to.
One of the things you should do to protect your car during the winter, is winterize your car. Winterizing an automobile is a process that you can do yourself by picking up the supplies you’ll need to get the job done in our Honda parts department. Alternatively, you can bring your car to our Honda service center on Scatterfield Road and we’ll get your automobile ready for winter for you.
As we’ll explain when you visit our Honda dealership near Indianapolis, IN, the winterizing process typically involves the following steps, among others:
· Replacing your current tires with winter tires
· Making sure your car has the right balance of antifreeze and water in its cooling system
· Changing your oil and oil filter
· Putting new wipers on your windshield and filling your wiper fluid
· Checking your battery, four-wheel drive system, and defroster
· Waxing your car to protect it from damaging dirt and salt
· Getting floor mats to protect your carpeting from the elements if you don’t already have them
Given the amount of snow and the chilly temperatures we see in a typical year, it’s important to prepare your car for winter before the season arrives. Whether you drive a 2017 Honda Accord or an older model, one of the most important things you should do to get ready for winter is prepare an emergency kit and keep it in your automobile. At a minimum, your kit should include road flares, a blanket, warm clothing, a collapsible shovel, an ice scraper, a medical kit, a flashlight, and non-perishable snacks and beverages.
You never know when that first big snowstorm is going to hit. So, don’t wait! Contact Tom Wood Honda to make an appointment to have your car winterized today.
