Drivers in the Grand Junction, CO area searching for a trustworthy mechanic are encouraged to contact our team for suggestions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Top 4 Tips To Prep Vehicles For Winter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Change Wipers &#8211;<\/strong> We use our wipers a lot more during the fall and winter than we do in the spring and summer. It\u2019s important to change them out before the snow hits to ensure you have top-of-the-line wipers. Make sure to grab a third one if you have a rear wiper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check Tires &#8211;<\/strong> Keep in mind that tire pressure naturally drops when temperatures are colder. Be sure to check all four tires for pressure and tread as well as inspect the spare tire to make sure it\u2019s properly inflated in case of an emergency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check Fluids &#8211;<\/strong> Before it gets too cold, you\u2019ll want to make sure to check your antifreeze levels and fill them if needed. Windshield wiper fluid is available with antifreeze as well, and be sure brake fluid is topped off to ensure a quick braking response.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replace Filters &#8211;<\/strong> The air filter directly affects fuel economy, emissions and the vehicle\u2019s overall performance. When it\u2019s dirty, it restricts the airflow. It should be replaced twice a year, so now would be the perfect time to take care of it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for more information on how to get your vehicle ready for winter, please don\u2019t hesitate to ask.
