Prepare Your Tires and Battery for Safe Winter Driving

Preparing your Ford for the winter months should include a thorough inspection of vital components. Our technicians can inspect your vehicle’s tire pressure and tread wear to determine if your tires can keep you safely on the road when the cold weather arrives. Depending on your winter driving needs, our service advisors can recommend winter tires like dedicated snow tires or all-season tires.

The technicians at Group 1 Ford of Kennesaw can also do a battery check. They’ll use the latest high-tech tools to determine your battery’s remaining life span. Cold winter weather can put added pressure on an older battery. If your car battery is old, you might end up on the side of the road with a dead battery or in need of jumper cables and roadside assistance.

Check Fluids and Prepare Your Emergency Kit

Your car’s winter maintenance should include routine services like oil changes and fluid checks. Many vehicles benefit from motor oil formulated for winter driving. Your Ford maintenance tips should include replacing your old oil with fresh motor oil and a thorough check of your vehicle’s antifreeze, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Our technicians can also check your windshield wiper blades to determine if they have too much wear and tear to handle mixed winter precipitation.

We also recommend building an emergency kit for winter driving. Your emergency kit should include jumper cables, a flashlight, bottled water, non-perishable food, a blanket, a snowbrush, and an ice scraper. Our parts department can help you find a Ford emergency kit stocked with necessities for winter driving in northern Georgia.
