Cold Weather Prep at Jannell Ford of Hanover

Oil Change

Your engine oil plays an essential role in helping your car operate year-round. Oil lubricates, cleans, and cools the engine, and needs to be replaced regularly. It is essential not to miss your oil change interval, especially before winter weather sets in. Forgetting to change your oil can result in your engine overheating. Getting your oil changed on time is a crucial part of helping your engine run currently in cold weather.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

Your windshield wipers work hard all year to keep your sightlines clear as you drive in the rain. That is why getting new wiper blades for the winter is a great idea. Fresh wiper blades will be better suited to scraping snow off your windshield. You should also consider getting winter wiper blades, which have an extra protective layer of rubber that makes them especially effective at scraping away ice buildup.

Top Off or Change Windshield Cleaner Fluid

Windshield cleaner fluid works in tandem with the wipers to keep your windshield clean as you drive around Marshfield. To keep your windshield clear of debris in the fall and to prevent ice buildup on your windshield as you drive, it is important to make sure you have enough windshield cleaner fluid. You might also want to change your windshield cleaner fluid to a formula designed specifically for below-freezing temperatures.

Car Battery Inspection and Replacement

Changes in temperature can take a toll on your battery. As the temperature drops in Weymouth, you never want your battery to fail, leaving you stranded in your garage when you need to get to work or drop your kids off at school. That is why you should bring your vehicle to Jannell Ford of Hanover and have our technicians check your battery. If your battery needs to be replaced, you can find the battery you need at our Parts Center.

Heating System Check

Your car's heating system lets you stay comfortable on every drive as the weather gets colder. Our technicians can check your heating system components, so you can enjoy cozy driving no matter what the temperature is outside. Our technicians can also find potential issues before they arise, repairing them before your heating system fails.

Tire Inspection or Change

If you ever drive on snowy or icy roads in Plymouth, MA, it is crucial to have the right tires to drive safely. At a minimum, you can bring your vehicle to our Service Center and have the treads checked. You might also want to consider getting winter tires. Winter tires have treads with larger gaps than all-season tires, which gives them better traction on snowy or icy roads.
