Check Your Battery
Your battery plays an important role in starting your vehicle. But it is often overlooked because unless it causes an issue, nobody gives it much thought. But, as the temperatures drop, your battery can struggle with producing the necessary voltage and may even fail to start your vehicle.
If your car battery is aging or if you simply want to have peace of mind this winter, stop by our Frederick service center for a quick battery test. We even have the tools to charge your battery if needed or replace it if it's on its last leg.
Check Your Tires/Install Winter Tires
As the temperatures drop and the roads become icy, your tires will begin to have a more difficult time retaining traction. This issue is even worse on tires that are worn and in need of replacing. If your tires need replacing, bring your vehicle to us near before the situation becomes dangerous.

As the name would imply, your "antifreeze" is meant to sustain extreme cold without freezing. But, it is not completely unheard of for a previous owner to replace some of the coolant with plain water or a coolant that is not rated for the temperatures you are expecting.
