Is your Chevy ready for winter weather? If not, we’re here to help!

While we may not get much snow here in the South, it’s best to be prepared — especially if you’re planning a trip up North. So don’t wait any longer! Get your ride ready today with Legacy Chevrolet.

Below, we’re sharing a few simple ways you can prepare your Chevrolet car, truck, or SUV for safe winter driving. From making sure your battery can handle the cold to ensuring your tires are in good condition, you can count on our team to keep your ride running smoothly throughout the season!

Winter Maintenance Checklist

First things first: schedule a vehicle inspection. Our technicians will check key components in your Chevy, including the battery, fluids, tires, and windshield wipers.

  • Battery: Because the cold can strain your Chevy’s battery, it’s important to make sure the battery can handle dropping temperatures so you don’t find yourself stranded. We can test your battery’s performance and replace it if it’s time for a new one.
  • Fluids: Our technicians can check your Chevy’s fluid levels, such as the antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid. We can replace the windshield wiper fluid with fluid specifically designed for winter weather.
  • Tires: When encountering snow or ice, you’ll want tires that have good traction. We can inspect your tires to make sure they are in good condition and have the correct tire pressure. If it’s time for new ones, our tire department experts can help you choose the ideal set for your Chevy. We can even switch the old tires out for snow tires.
  • Windshield Wipers: When was the last time you replaced your windshield wipers? If it’s been a while, you may need new ones to ensure a clear view. If it’s time for new wipers, we can replace them for you.

Be Ready for Anything: Emergency Preparedness

Should you find yourself stranded during your winter travels, you’ll want to have some emergency supplies on hand. Plan ahead and keep items in your Chevy such as:

  • Blankets 
  • Flashlight
  • First aid kit
  • Non-perishable snacks and water
  • Jumper cables
  • Ice scraper
  • Snow shovel
