Preparing Your Vehicle for Winter

At Cable Dahmer Buick GMC of Kansas City, we know the importance and value of preparing a vehicle for winter weather. Extreme temperature is a notorious threat to many automotive components, especially for several vital components with short service lives, such as the battery, tires, and wiper blades to name a few. We recommend acting in the fall to optimally prepare a vehicle for optimum performance this winter. Doing some minor preparation is one of the best ways to promote reliable vehicle performance, driving comfort, and safety when frigid conditions arrive in Kansas City. If you could use some professional assistance in your vehicle’s winter preparation, we invite you to our service department for one of our winter maintenance services. We proudly service Buick & BMC models in Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, and Overland Park, MO.

Winter Preparation Tips

When it comes to preparing your vehicle for winter weather, we have a few tips that can help maximize your protection when operating a vehicle in freezing temperatures. Here are several key winter preparation tips:

  • Battery – have the battery inspected and tested in the fall; replace dying batteries proactively before they fail as they begin experiencing reduced reserve capacity or cold-cranking amps performances.  
  • Tires – have the tires inspected and any necessary corrective maintenance given in the fall to secure peak performance when winter weather arrives. Some of our customers change to a seasonal tire for peak traction in slippery conditions. 
  • Wiper Blades – you’ll want your wiper blades in excellent condition this winter, especially for icy mix conditions that threaten visibility and wreak havoc on old blades. 
  • Winter Emergency Kit – we recommend carrying a winter emergency kit including jumper cables, blanket, food, flashlight, flares, water, boots, gloves, and a first-aid kit.
