Michigan winters test every vehicle on the road, and a little Ford service this fall helps keep yours running strong when the snow flies. Cold mornings, icy roads, and salty slush put extra strain on everything from your battery to your brakes. That's why our service team at Lunghamer Ford of Owosso follows a simple fall checklist.
Battery Testing
Cold weather makes it harder for a battery to deliver the power your engine needs to start. A battery that gets by in October can leave you stranded on a frigid January morning. We test your battery so you can replace it on your schedule instead of on the side of the road.
Tire Pressure and Tread Check
Tire pressure drops as temperatures fall, and underinflated tires can hurt handling and wear unevenly. Our technicians set your tires to the pressure listed on your driver-side door jamb.
We also measure your tread, since worn tires struggle to push through slush and snow. If you often drive in heavy snow, we can help you choose dedicated winter tires.
Wipers, Fluids, and Lights
We replace streaky wiper blades and top off your reservoir with winter-grade washer fluid rated for freezing temperatures. Our team also checks your coolant to confirm your engine is protected on subzero nights. With shorter days ahead, we make sure your headlights, taillights, and turn signals all work properly.
Brake Inspection
Reliable brake performance is especially important when winter roads reduce available traction. We inspect components such as the brake pads and rotors and check the brake-fluid level as part of your vehicle’s winter preparation.
