Flush and Refill Your Antifreeze

Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is stored inside your car’s radiator. It prevents the engine from overheating or freezing, but it also protects against corrosion in the radiator and engine. A warm fluid runs from the engine, circulating through the heater and defroster. If you need to clear your windshield of condensation, the defroster is an absolute must.

Normally antifreeze is combined with water in a 50:50 ratio. Mixing the antifreeze incorrectly may cause your engine to overheat.

Check Your Battery’s Strength

Even small dips in temperature can make your vehicle’s battery suffer. Cold weather is particularly hard on already-weak batteries and though all batteries will eventually fail, it’s better to get yours replaced before it goes dead. When taking your car in for service, a qualified technician at our local Clermont auto repair center should look at the battery connections to make sure they are intact. Damaged connections won’t supply enough power to start the car when weather gets colder.

Replace the Windshield Wipers

The rubber on your windshield wipers will deteriorate since it’s exposed to the elements every day. Smears of water on your windshield are a good indicator that your blades need to be replaced. While you’re at it, you should also make sure your car has ample wiper fluid. This liquid coats the windshield and makes it easier for the wipers to operate.
