Tire Inspection

It is very important that your vehicle has the right tires for snow and icy conditions. Otherwise, your vehicle will have little to no traction on the road. This is extremely dangerous. If your vehicle has summer performance tires, they will need to be swapped out for snow tires. If your vehicle has all-season tires, you may be able to keep the same tires on. However, swapping for snow tires is still a good idea. Our techs will inspect your vehicle's tires to let you know if they need to be changed.

Battery Test & Inspection

Cold weather is hard on automotive batteries. Our techs will test and inspect your battery to ensure that it can hold up to the difficult weather conditions. We can replace the battery with an OEM Acura battery if necessary.

Brake Inspection

Your vehicle's brakes need to be in tip-top shape in the winter. Our techs can inspect your vehicle's brakes to see if any components need to be replaced. If there are components that need to be replaced, we can do so with genuine Acura parts.

Check Wiper Blades

Your Acura needs to have working wiper blades to clear away snow and ice. Our techs can check your vehicle's wiper blades and replace them if necessary.

Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend

We can change your windshield wiper fluid to winter-blend to ensure that it doesn't freeze.

HVAC Inspection

Our techs will inspect your heater, defroster, seat warmers, and steering wheel warmers to ensure that you can stay comfortable while driving during the winter.

Check/Replace Engine Coolant & Antifreeze

We will check your vehicle's coolant and antifreeze and replace it if necessary to keep your vehicle working in cold temperatures.

Windshield Crack & Chip Inspection

Our techs will inspect your windshield for the cracks and chips that often appear during the winter.

Prepare a Roadside Safety Kit

We can advise you on preparing a roadside safety kit, which should include a high-visibility jacket, a space blanket, water, and a triangle warning sign at the very least.
