How to Prepare Your MAZDA Vehicle for Winter

With fall waning and winter just around the corner, it’s time to think about Mazda service tasks for the upcoming colder months. Medlin Mazda has your back. Let’s take a look at some crucial tasks to prepare your Mazda for winter.

Interior, Wipers, Lights

First, clean your Mazda inside and out. Think of it as shaking off the summer and fall months as you clear the grill and windshield of any debris. Have your car detailed as well to catch interior problems early.

Your wiper blades have likely grown cracked and dull from disuse and will need to be replaced. Fresh wipers will increase your visibility while driving.

Check your brakes, brake lights, and headlights to ensure they are all working. Test and replace the bulbs as needed. As the weather shifts, the roads will get much slicker and more treacherous. You need your brake components and all your lights in solid condition.

Oil, Air Filter, Battery

Get your oil checked and changed. While you’re at it, change the transmission fluid and brake fluid as well. Check your battery’s health and connections and replace them if necessary. Check your air filter and have it replaced.

A/C & Heater

You’ll need to check your air conditioning and heater. When the cold weather really kicks in, you’ll need not only your heater in good shape but also all your related amenities, such as heated seats, steering wheel, and side mirrors.

These are just a few key service tasks to prepare for winter. If you have questions about the best way to go about these, contact our technicians here at Medlin Mazda and schedule a Mazda service visit today.
