Prepare Your Vehicle for New England Winters at Secor Subaru

Winter is coming, and there's no better time to get ready for driving on winter roads than today. Schedule a winterization maintenance appointment with our Service Center, where we can inspect your vehicle's safety items and ensure it is in optimum condition to handle the unique challenges that come with driving in the winter around New London, CT.

How to Winterize Your Vehicle

Winterizing your vehicle is easy, with special attention paid to key safety items that help you stay aware and in control through changing road conditions and treacherous weather. Our team can help you check off all your winter maintenance needs in one easy appointment. Here are some of the top items we recommend doing before winter weather sets in:

Check Your Tires


Tires are one of the most crucial safety items and need adequate tread depth to ensure good stopping power and handling. Depending on your neighborhood roads, we may recommend switching to winter tires or an all-weather tire designed for your typical driving conditions.

Check Your Battery


Our team will help ensure your car battery operates at optimum levels and that there is enough charge to start your vehicle and power the electrical components. If your car battery is nearing the end of its life, we may recommend swapping it out for a new one since batteries are weather-sensitive and tend to drain faster in sub-zero temperatures.

Check Your Wiper Blades


Wiper blades can take a beating in the winter due to ice, snow, and salt spray from the roads. Check your wipers before the season starts and ensure there is no streaking on the windshield that can limit your field of view in challenging weather.

Top Off All Fluids


Not only is it a good time to check your fluids for optimum levels and top off as needed, but you should also check that your coolant and windshield washer fluid is rated for winter temperatures.

Restock Emergency Essentials


We have everything you need to update and refresh your vehicle emergency kit in our Parts Center at Secor Subaru. For winter preparedness, we recommend including flashlights, batteries, a poncho, repair tools, first aid items, flares, a shovel, and an ice scraper in your emergency kit.
