Cold weather will hit New Mexico before we know it! Preparing your vehicle for the changing of seasons is extremely important. Here are a few tips the experts at Melloy Dodge suggest you follow to avoid any Fall or Winter vehicle mishaps.
- Check your tires: Worn or flat tires paired with winter weather can create a dangerous situation. Check your tire pressure and the tread on your tires to ensure they are safe and ready for cold weather. If you plan to drive in icy or snowy areas, it may be a good idea to look in to a 4-wheel drive Dodge vehicle!
- Test your battery: Don’t wait for your car battery to fail and leave you stranded in the cold. Use a computerized battery tester to check your battery’s voltage and overall condition.
- Change your wiper blades: Visibility is extremely important in inclement weather. Remove old wiper blades and replace them with a new set.
- Pack an emergency kit: It’s never a bad idea to be prepared. Pack an emergency kit that fits in the back of your vehicle. The Melloy Dodge team suggests packing the following:
2. Phone charger
3. Simple tools
4. Jumper cables
5. First aid kit
6. Blanket
7. Hat and gloves.
Preparation is key when ensuring your travels are safe this Fall and Winter season. To get your Dodge serviced before the cold weather hits, reach out to the Service Team at Melloy Dodge in Albuquerque, or schedule with us online!
