Winter is coming to the Asheville area, and if you haven’t experienced a Western North Carolina winter yet, you can expect plenty of frigid and icy conditions, as well as snow- and slush-covered roads. The changing of seasons also makes for a perfect opportunity to get your vehicle back into top condition by getting Mazda service here at Fields Mazda of Asheville. These are some winter-specific service checks that our mechanics will perform.
Battery Check
Cold temperatures reduce your battery’s cranking power, and the last thing you want on a frigid winter morning is to be stuck in your garage with a dead car battery. If your battery is over five years old, it is likely time for replacement, and our mechanics will check its condition.
Wiper Blade Replacement
You may not think of your windshield wiper blades much, but they need to be replaced more often than you may realize. Even the best-performing wiper blades need to be replaced around every six months, especially if you live in an area that receives rain, snow, or ice. Remember that our technicians only use OEM Mazda parts for all repairs.
Oil Check
Cold weather can also take a toll on your car’s engine. When the mercury drops, motor oil thickens, which makes it harder for the engine to turn over. Our mechanics will see if your Mazda car is due for an oil change.
Tire Check
If you drive on doing a lot of driving on unplowed, snowy roads, snow tires can be a worthwhile investment. Snow tires feature tread patterns and rubber compounds that are specifically designed to grip snow and ice.
Schedule your winter Mazda service today at Fields Mazda of Asheville. Our trained technicians will make sure you stay safe through all the elements.
