Have Your Vehicle Serviced Before Winter
If you're in need of any basic vehicle repairs, be it basics like oil changes, alignments and brake services, you should schedule a time to get them done so you can drive through winter weather with added confidence knowing your engine oil is fresh, your brakes have been inspected, and your vehicle is in alignment. It's also a good idea to have your heating systems checked and air filters cleaned if you haven't recently so your Ford truck or SUV can warm up on those cold days.


Winter Service FAQs
Many drivers have questions about their auto service, particularly in the winter. We're here to make sure you get the right advice and are prepared for winter as locally, there are things that drivers in Traverse City need to know.
Should I use winter tires, or are my all-season tires okay?
We recommend winter tires because they offer traction and control designed specifically for our area's snow and wet weather. All-season tires can be effective, and those who practice safe driving habits often can use their all-season tires in winter. But they have less tread than a winter tire, and when it comes to handling snowy roads, you'll want a good set of winter tires.
Should I undercoat my car?
Undercoating, which provides a rust-protectant under your vehicle, largely depends on factors like vehicle age, and how much your vehicle might be prone to rust. Newer vehicles often have undercoating applied, so there isn't much concern in the first years of ownership. You can ask our team to inspect your vehicle and see if there's a need to undercoat it, and we can set that up for you. Generally, keeping your undercoat clean when washing out your vehicle, especially to remove all the salt used on the roads, can help hold back rust.
