Winter in Kamloops can be tough on vehicles. Between freezing temperatures, icy highways, and sudden snowstorms, your car needs to be ready all winter long. At Advance Auto Service, we recommend local drivers stay safe and avoid costly breakdowns with a thorough winter vehicle check.
Check Your Battery Before It Fails
Cold weather is one of the top reasons car batteries fail. If your battery is over three years old, winter temperatures can drain its power quickly. A quick battery test can prevent a no-start situation on a freezing morning.
Inspect Tires and Tire Pressure
Proper winter tires are essential for safe driving on Kamloops roads. Even all-season tires lose traction in cold conditions. We recommend dropping in so we can check the tread depth, tire pressure (which drops in cold weather), and switch you to winter tires.
Test Your Brakes and Fluids
Slippery roads demand responsive brakes. Worn brake pads or low brake fluid can increase stopping distance. That’s included in a maintenance visit, when we will also check antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, engine oil, and transmission fluid to ensure everything is performing well in freezing temperatures.
Heater, Defroster, and Wipers Matter More Than You Think
A working heater and defroster aren’t just about comfort – they’re about visibility and safety. We will replace worn wiper blades and make sure your defroster can be counted on to clear your windshield during snowstorms and early morning frost
