Pfeiffer Plainfield Used Cars of Grand Rapids Available for All Fall Auto Service Needs

Grand Rapids, MI, October 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Auto maintenance is an important but often forgotten task as the days grow shorter and cold, winter weather arrives. Not only do freezing temperatures cause hazardous driving conditions, making it crucial to ensure vehicles are working properly, but cold weather can also wreak havoc on vehicle parts and systems such as batteries and tires. Grand Rapids, MI area drivers wanting to ensure their vehicles are ready for winter can count on Pfeiffer Plainfield Used Cars’ service department for all of their cold weather auto service needs.

As temperatures drop, so does tire pressure, making it increasingly important to regularly check tire pressure and have tires inspected. Worn and underinflated tires decrease handling, can damage wheels and rims, and also reduces fuel economy. Wet, icy road conditions make worn out tires even more dangerous, increasing the risk of accidents. If needed, have tires replaced before the weather gets bad or switch to winter tires for added protection.

In addition to having tires inspected at Pfeiffer Plainfield Used Cars, it is a good idea to have brakes and batteries checked before winter arrives. The last thing anyone wants is a dead battery in the middle of a winter snow storm or run into brake issues while the roads are icy. Have a mechanic check that both are working properly and again if needed have them replaced to ensure safe travels.

Lastly, make sure to have all fluids, especially antifreeze and windshield washer fluid, checked and topped off. While oil changes should be a regular part of one’s auto maintenance schedule, winter is definitely not the time to skip this important task. It’s also important to replace windshield wipers as they will be very busy keeping windshields clean and free of snow, ice, and dirty splashes from the road.

Winter weather can cause many safety concerns for drivers. Don’t let worn out tires, dead batteries, and old wipers increase cold weather travel issues.
