Illinois winters can be harsh. Litchfield motorists must make sure they're prepared for winter driving by winterizing their vehicle at the Steve Schmitt Chevrolet Buick GMC service center. Our factory-trained technicians will make sure all your vehicle systems, components, and fluids are working together to keep you safe. No matter the road conditions or the temperatures, Steve Schmitt of Litchfield provides proper winter service to have Mount Olive motorists prepared.
Why is Winter Service Important?
Extreme cold temperatures and ever-changing precipitation challenge any vehicle in the winter. Illinois road conditions often deteriorate in a blink, which is why your vehicle needs to be prepared for the unexpected.
You need adequate battery power to start up your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC and the proper tire pressure and traction to keep you moving forward. Gillespie drivers also need fresh engine coolant or antifreeze so their engine doesn't freeze. Even lights, oil, defroster and heating systems, and windshield washer fluid are important to prioritize your safety for winter driving.
Systems & Vehicle Components We'll Check In Litchfield to Make Sure Your Car Is Prepped for Winter Driving
The Steve Schmitt of Litchfield service center suggests Staunton drivers make the following seasonal repairs and maintenance prep each winter to stay safe:
Windshield Wipers & Washer Fluid
- Have the windshield wiper blades replaced for the windshield and flush windshield washer fluid. This way, you can combat any form of winter precipitation, whether it's snow, ice, sleet, or freezing rain
Tires & Tire Pressure
- Monitor the tire pressure, which should be inflated to the proper PSI, around 32. We'll make sure your tire tread depth is at the recommended 10/32 of an inch. Litchfield drivers should also have winter tires installed for additional traction.
Battery
- Hillsboro drivers should have their battery tested and a new battery installed if their current power source has a low voltage reading. Make sure you can start your vehicle in cold Illinois winter temperatures!
Interior & Exterior Lights
- I​nspect all interior and exterior lights. It's important to see and be seen in low visibility winter conditions. The Steve Schmitt of Litchfield service center can replace bulbs for headlights, taillights, fog lights, headlamps, and others.
Fluid Check & Flush
- ​Have your engine coolant flushed and replace it with new antifreeze to prevent your engine from freezing in extreme cold temperatures. We'll also check other fluids, including your oil level, and provide an oil filter replacement.
Heating System
- ​Litchfield motorists should have the heating systems and defroster tested to stay warm and have a clear view of the road ahead.
Brakes
- Test your brakes, making sure the pads, rotors, and other brake components are working properly. This ensures you can stop on a dime on slick Litchfield streets this winter.
