Battling Cold Weather Car Issues

Battling cold winter in Calgary can bring some challenges for your vehicle. As the temperature drops, your car may experience a range of issues that can affect its performance. At AMR Automotive Services, we understand the importance of keeping your vehicle in top condition during the winter months.

One of the most common issues during winter is extra battery drain. Cold temperatures can significantly reduce your battery’s efficiency, making it harder for your car to start. To combat this problem, make sure your battery is in good condition. If your battery is more than three years old, it might be a good idea to have it tested and, if necessary, replaced.

Maintaining clear visibility is crucial for safe winter driving. However, icy conditions can be tough on your windshield wipers, leading to breakage or reduced effectiveness. Replace them if they appear brittle or damaged.

Cold temperatures can also impact your vehicle’s fluids, including fuel. To prevent a frozen fuel tank, try to keep your gas tank at least half full during the winter. Check and top up other essential fluids like oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze regularly to ensure they remain effective in colder conditions.
