If you're driving a Mercedes-Benz car or SUV around Medford, OR, Grant Pass, or beyond, you may be asking the question, "What car maintenance needs to be done before winter?" Here in Oregon, it's important to have your vehicle serviced or maintained before the winter weather arrives. Here are five winter services your Mercedes-Benz vehicle will need.
- Tire Changes – It's imperative to change the tires on your Mercedes-Benz car or SUV to winter tires. Winter tires are designed for the winter weather, from the freezing temperatures to the ice and snow.
- Battery Checks – Cold temperatures can drain your car's battery, leaving you stranded and requiring a jumpstart. You'll want to have the battery inspected and/or changed to ensure this doesn't happen.
- Windshield Care – Visibility is key when driving, especially through inclement winter weather. Make sure your car's windshield is in good condition, and the windshield wipers are working properly.
- Climate Control Inspections – Before the cold temps arrive, you'll want to test out the heat inside your vehicle. Make sure the front and rear defrost are working properly and that there is heat coming out for you to stay nice and warm.
- Emergency Winter Kits – It's also a good idea to have an emergency winter car kit in your vehicle. This kit should include blankets, water, nonperishable food, a flashlight with extra batteries, a shovel, kitty litter or sand, and car tools.
