Our Toyota service center is dedicated to keeping you and your family safe on the roads.
Winter Car Maintenance Checklist
Inspect the Headlights and Taillights
Make sure all your vehicle's lights are working properly and aimed correctly, including headlights, taillights, turn signals, and brake lights. Driving with a burned-out bulb is a safety hazard, especially in snowy or dark winter conditions.
Check the Brakes
Have your brakes inspected to ensure the pads and rotors have enough material and are in good working condition. Well-maintained brakes are crucial for stopping safely on slippery winter roads in Milan.
Tire Rotation and Wheel Alignment
Rotating your tires and getting a wheel alignment will promote even tire wear and help maintain good traction control. If you live in the Silvis area, consider switching to snow tires for superior handling and better stopping distances on snow- and ice-covered roads.
Oil Change
Cold weather can cause your engine oil to thicken. An oil change before winter will ensure your car's engine is properly protected and running efficiently during the coldest months of the year.
Test the Car Battery
Freezing temperatures are tough on car batteries. Have your car battery and charging system tested to make sure they are strong enough to start reliably all winter long, even on the chilliest mornings.
