Winter is coming to Virginia Beach. That means all kinds of things: holiday parties, gift-giving, and – rather importantly – time to winterize your vehicle at our Toyota service center. Here at Hall Toyota Virginia Beach, our team of certified Toyota technicians wants to ensure that your car is reliable and safe throughout the winter season. Here’s a winterization checklist for your Toyota vehicle.
Battery Check
The battery is one of the most common Toyota parts affected by winter weather conditions. Cold weather erodes battery output, making it difficult or even impossible to start your car. Our technicians will inspect your battery’s health and ensure it is ready to handle colder winter temperatures.
Tire Inspection
Check your tire pressure regularly, especially when temperatures are dropping, as it tends to decrease in colder temperatures. Also, we’ll ensure the tires have adequate tread depth so your Toyota car retains optimal grip on wet and icy roads.
Fluid Level Check
Our technicians will ensure that your car’s essential fluids, such as windshield wiper fluid, engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid are topped off and at the correct levels. Consider switching to a winter-grade windshield washer fluid to prevent freezing.
Heating System Inspection
Ensure your car’s heating system is functioning correctly so you can stay warm and dozy on your commute. Our technicians will inspect parts such as the heater core, blower motor, and everything else related to the heating system.
Emergency Kit
While winter storms aren’t as common here as they are further north, they’re not unheard of. It is best to be prepared for the worst, so ensure you have an emergency kit consisting of items like a blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, ice scraper, and shovel.
