Jeep Winter Maintenance Checklist
Check Your Tires
First, take a look at your tires. Inspect their tread to make sure that you'll get enough traction if snow or ice becomes a problem in the Washington DC area. Also, if you plan on heading to anywhere that sees lots of snow during the winter, then you should probably consider snow tires for some extra traction.
Check Your Battery
Cold weather means your battery will be compromised. Pop open the hood and check out your Jeep's battery. If it's been two or three years since you've replaced your battery, then you likely need a new one to make it through winter. Also, make sure that your battery is in good condition; inspect the terminals and casing for any cracks, corrosion, or other damages.
Fix Your Heating
Turn on your car and see how your heater is doing. If you notice that it's not blowing enough air or if the air isn't quite hot enough, then you should schedule your service at our dealership near Alexandria before it's too late. You don't want to be stuck driving to work while snow is falling in Chevy Chase without heat!
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
Before the temperature drops below freezing in the Potomac area, make sure that you get brand-new windshield wipers. You need to be ready to combat snow and freezing rain with fresh, high-quality windshield wipers for optimal visibility as you drive around Silver Spring.
