Winter temperatures can be hard on your Chevy car, truck or SUV when you live in Indiana. In January, for example, the average low temperature here in Jasper can get down to about 26 degrees and with the rain and ice that appears on the roadways, driving can be hazardous. That's why it's important to bring your Chevy or whatever you drive to our Chevy service center to get a winter checkup. Here are some of the winterization services we offer at Uebelhor and Sons Chevrolet Jasper in Jasper IN.
Winter Checkup #1: Let us take care of your tires
The tires on your Chevrolet are the critical points of contact between your family and the road. That’s why it’s a good idea to have us inspect the tread depth on your tires to make sure you have enough good rubber to drive safely on Ireland IN winter roads. If our inspection shows that you have anything less than 4/32nds of an inch of tread depth, we will recommend that you get a new set of tires. We have a great selection of tires in stock from great brands like Michelin® and Pirelli® and we can install them for you.
Winter Checkup #2: Let us check your alignment
Whether or not you decide to get new tires, it’s important to have us check your alignment to make sure your wheels are properly aligned. Winter can be rough on our Indiana roads, sometimes creating big potholes. If you hit one hard enough as you’re driving around Huntingburg that can be enough to knock your wheels out of alignment. We can give you an expert alignment and put your Chevy back on track for winter.
Winter Checkup #3: Let us care of your brakes
Your brakes are always important but they become even more vital to your safety in winter months, especially when you're driving over Indiana roadways that are covered with snow and ice. If your brake pads are beginning to wear out, you might hear a high-pitched squeak every time you step on the brake pedal. We can check your brakes and install new pads and rotors if you need them to help keep you and your family safe this winter.
Winter Checkup #4: We’ll take a look at your battery
The battery in your Chevy has to endure some unusually rugged conditions in winter months around Ferdinand IN. Frigid temperatures make it much tougher for your battery to give your car the power it needs especially on cold winter mornings. Ask us to do a load test to see if your battery has enough power to start your car reliably. If not, we have a good supply of first-rate batteries from trusted brands in stock and we’ll be glad to install one for you.
Winter Checkup #5: Allow us to check your fluid levels
One of the most crditical fluid levels in cold weather is your antifreeze. It's a special chemical that helps keep the water in your Chevy’s cooling system from freezing up when the outside air drops into the danger zone. We can check to make sure you have enough antifreeze and we’ll do a flush and refill if that’s required. We can also check the fluid in your windshield wiper reservoir to see if you have enough to keep your windshield clean in rainy winter weather as you drive around Dale IN.
