With the cold weather approaching in Chippewa Falls, WI, now is the time to start thinking about winterizing your vehicle. Proper vehicle maintenance is important year-round, but it's especially critical in the harsh winter months. At the Toycen Ford Service Department, our factory-trained technicians can help ensure your car, truck, or SUV is ready to handle the snow and ice.
Why Winterize Your Vehicle
Winterizing your vehicle helps improve safety, reliability, and performance during the coldest months of the year. If you live in Eau Claire or frequently drive there for work or recreation, you know how challenging the winter road conditions can be. Freezing temperatures, snow, slush, and road salt can take a toll on your vehicle if it's not properly prepared.
Winter Vehicle Service Checklist
When you bring your vehicle to Toycen Ford in Chippewa Falls for winterization, our experienced technicians will go through a comprehensive checklist to make sure all key systems and components are inspected and serviced if needed. This includes:
- Checking and topping off all fluids (oil, coolant, wiper fluid, etc.)
- Testing the battery and charging system
- Inspecting belts and hoses
- Checking tire tread depth and pressure
- Ensuring the heating and defrost system is working properly
If you're due for any regular maintenance like an oil change, tire rotation, or brake service, it's a good idea to take care of that at the same time as your winter service. You can even apply for finance on our website if needed.
