Top Services To Perform Before Winter

Tire Rotation or Swap

Whether you need new tires or want to switch to a set of winter tires, our technicians are here to provide the tire mounting, rotation, balancing, and alignment services you need near East Tawas. All-season tires can provide decent traction in wet conditions, but accumulating snow and ice prevents them from retaining grip on smooth pavement. Studded or studless tires are optimized for winter conditions, helping your vehicle 'bite' into the pavement and improve capability.

Brake Inspection and Repairs

Having properly-functioning brakes is essential to keeping you and your passengers out of danger. Unfortunately, road salt and precipitation that comes with winter weather can cause metallic components in your vehicle's braking system to corrode. Receiving periodic inspections and replacing worn brake components is one of the best ways to prepare for safe driving on slick surfaces.

Wiper Blades and Light Bulb Replacement

With winter weather comes darker days and longer nights, which is why visibility is critical to safety. Over time, wiper blades lose their ability to scrape precipitation off the windows, decreasing vision when you need it most. Replacing wiper blades with winter-rated options, topping off your window washer fluid, and ensuring all of the light bulbs on your vehicle are illuminated can help you avoid incidents when a blizzard hits the streets around Hale, MI.
