BMW cars are known for exceptional comfort, class and quality. But like every vehicle, they require service in the winter. Cold-weather elements like ice, sleet, snow and even road salts not only damage your cars exterior, they can also limit the engines performance. Before your car gets caught in the cold, consider booking a winterization service at Budds BMW Hamilton. Here are a few of the components our certified BMW service technicians will inspect in your new or used BMW to have it ready for the season.
Engine Oil
Engine oil, an essential lubricant, minimizes friction and helps dissipate heat. In the winter, oil can get colder, which increases its viscosity and prevents it from circulating in the engine. Our professional BMW service technicians will make sure your BMW car is stocked with cold-weather rated oil.
Brakes
Even a minor problem with the brake system can make a vehicle completely unsafe to drive. Its always better to ensure that your brakes are ready to handle the wet roads. Brakes can fail unexpectedly due to rusty lines or a cracked brake hose, so its important to have it properly inspected by one of our professionals.
Tires
Tire pressure drops with the lowered temperatures, and traction is often affected by wet roads. Our BMW service staff will also inspect your tire tread depth, as balding tires can result in hydroplaning on wet roads. If you dont already have a set, winter tires are a great way to keep your vehicle safe in the winter.
Vehicle Fluids
Vehicle fluids, like coolant, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid and power steering fluid are all important to your vehicles performance. Most importantly in the winter, antifreeze levels need to be monitored closely to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Wipers and Lights
Winter weather can have drastic effects on your visibility while driving. Our BMW service staff will check wipers and lights to make sure you have as much visibility as possible. Windshield washer fluids should also be topped up throughout the winter so that you dont run out.
