With winter on the way, now is the time to get your Volkswagen ready for the cold weather and slick roads ahead in the Pacific Northwest.
At Volkswagen of Kirkland, we know how important proper vehicle maintenance is for safe and reliable driving during the winter months in the greater Seattle area. Bringing your VW in for winter service at our Kirkland dealership will give you peace of mind all season long.
Importance of Winter Vehicle Maintenance
Winter weather can be harsh on your vehicle, from freezing temperatures to icy roads and heavy snow. That's why it's crucial to perform winter maintenance to ensure your Volkswagen is in top condition to handle the elements. Our factory-trained technicians recommend completing these key winter service tasks before the holidays:
- Oil and filter change to keep your engine running smoothly.
- Antifreeze check to prevent your radiator from freezing.
- Battery test to avoid getting stranded with a dead battery.
- Tire pressure and tread depth check for optimal traction.
- Wiper blade replacement and fluid replenishment for clear visibility.
Following this winter maintenance checklist will help your Volkswagen run at its best all winter long. If you live in the Bellevue area, don't wait to get your vehicle serviced for the season, especially given holiday traveling to points more north or east.
Consider Winter Tires
In addition to regular maintenance, switching to winter tires provides a big boost in safety and performance for winter driving. Winter tires are specially designed to remain pliable in cold temperatures and provide enhanced traction and handling on snowy, icy and wet roads. For those icy mornings in Redmond, winter tires will give you more control and shorter stopping distances.
If you frequently drive over the passes or in the mountains around Seattle, winter tires are highly recommended and often required. Equipping your Volkswagen with a set of winter tires from our Kirkland dealership will give you the confidence you need in harsh driving conditions.
