If you're like most consumers, preparing for winter means getting out your cold-weather clothing, putting up your storm windows, and putting your garden to bed for the season. However, winterizing your vehicle is equally important; failure to do so could result in untimely vehicle breakdowns, costly repairs, and even put you and your family in precarious situations on Burlington roads. The service center at Lucas Chrysler Dodge Jeep® Ram can help you get your car ready for winter around Cherry Hill and beyond.
Check the Battery
Make sure your battery's connections are tight and corrosion-free to hold an optimal charge. Older or weak batteries should be replaced. We can swap out your battery with a genuine OEM component too.
Switch to Winter Tires
Designed with a specialized tread to provide additional traction on snow and ice-covered Fort Dix roads, winter tires can make a substantial difference in your safety.
Schedule an Oil Change
Clean oil is designed to flow better through the engine in colder temperatures. It will keep your engine clear from debris and dirt as well.
Check Your Antifreeze
For winter driving, your coolant system should be filled with half water and half antifreeze.
Check Your Wipers and Windshield Washer Fluid
Replace worn-out wiper blades with heavy-duty winter-grade blades, and ensure the washer fluid reservoir is full.
Check Your Heating And Defrosting System
An efficient heating and defrosting system is vital for comfort and safety when it comes to winter driving through Philadelphia and beyond.
Have Your Brakes Inspected
A quick brake inspection can identify emerging issues before they become a safety hazard.
Pack A Winter Emergency Kit
Despite your best efforts, there may come a time when winter driving conditions leave you stranded in the cold. Your kit should include warm blankets, gloves, jumper cables, a flashlight with extra batteries, food and water, and emergency flashers.
