Winter weather can take a toll on your Audi, even one as sophisticated and well-engineered as yours. From icy roads to frigid temperatures, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle is prepared to handle the season’s unique challenges. Whether you’re commuting through Cherry Hill or heading to Philadelphia for a night out, here’s a handy winter maintenance checklist to keep your Audi running smoothly and safely.
1. Check Your Tires
Cold temperatures can cause tire pressure to drop, affecting your car's handling and safety. Inspect your tire pressure and tread depth to ensure your Audi has optimal grip on slippery roads. If you’re unsure about the condition of your tires, Audi Cherry Hill offers a full tire inspection service and Audi-approved winter tires designed for maximum performance.
2. Test Your Battery
Freezing weather puts extra strain on your car’s battery, which can leave you stranded if it’s not in good shape. Stop by Audi Cherry Hill for a quick battery test to ensure it’s fully charged and ready to handle the cold.
3. Inspect the Brakes
Your Audi’s brakes are vital for your safety, especially when dealing with icy roads. Listen for unusual noises or vibrations when braking, and if anything feels off, schedule a brake inspection with our certified technicians.
4. Replace Wiper Blades and Top Off Washer Fluid
Clear visibility is a must during winter storms. Swap out old wiper blades for new ones and make sure your windshield washer fluid is filled with a winter-friendly formula. Audi Cherry Hill’s service team can help ensure you’re ready for any snow or sleet that comes your way.
5. Check Your Fluids
Oil, coolant, and transmission fluid all play critical roles in keeping your Audi’s engine running smoothly in cold weather. Regular oil changes are particularly important in the winter months to maintain optimal engine performance. If it’s time for an oil change, schedule your service at Audi Cherry Hill today.
6. Examine the Heating and Defrost Systems
No one wants to drive a frosty car on a freezing morning! Ensure your Audi’s heating and defrost systems are functioning properly to keep you comfortable and your windows clear. If you notice any issues, our experts are here to help.
7. Protect Your Audi’s Exterior
Winter roads are often coated with salt and debris, which can damage your Audi’s sleek exterior. A quick wash and wax can protect your vehicle’s paint and make it shine, even on gloomy days. Audi Cherry Hill also offers professional detailing services to keep your car looking its best.
