Winter Maintenance Tips in Torrance, CA

Winter Car Care Services

• Tire Inspection – The tires influence the braking, handling, and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Their condition becomes even more crucial in cold temperatures as the tire rubber can start to behave differently. We can improve and maintain the condition of tires through our tire services at Scott Robinson CDJR. We also carry a variety of new tires for sale if it is time to replace your tires.
• Battery Test – The car battery has to work harder in colder temperatures, which means it needs to be in good health; otherwise, it might fail. At Scott Robinson CDJR, we carry professional-grade tools to check the battery and other battery system parts. We can safely remove a worn-out battery and replace it with a new battery.
• Brakes – Winter is a good time to get a complete brake system inspection. The cold and slippery road conditions can expose weak or faulty brakes. At Scott Robinson CDJR, we can check the brake fluid, rotors, brake pads, and other components. We carry Mopar brake parts for the replacement service required by our vehicle.
• Wiper Blades – Broken or worn-out wiper blades are a safety hazard. The colder temperatures can harden the rubber of the wiper blades, making them vulnerable to cracking. We perform wiper blade inspection to determine if new blades are required.
• HVAC Inspection – We can perform a full range of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) at Scott Robinson CDJR. This includes heater core service, cabin air filter replacement, refrigerant recharge, and more.
• Coolant – The engine is most vulnerable to wear and tear during start-up, and it can be worse in cold temperatures. The coolant or anti-freeze fluid helps protect the engine in extreme temperatures. If the coolant level is low or if the fluid is contaminated, we can replenish it. We can also fix leakage issues with the cooling system.
• Prepare a Winter Safety Kit – We always recommend having a few essentials in case of an emergency. But winter may bring some new scenarios that you might want to prepare for. We recommend you have a flashlight, blankets, non-perishable food, and water. This could help in case you end up having to wait for help to arrive.
