SERVICE ACCORDING TO THE SEASON: WINTERIZING

The changing seasons affect more than our dress codes. We put away lawn furniture, the barbecue, install storm windows, and order heating oil, all in preparation for Winter. Your car needs to be prepared too. Changing climate conditions impact on your car's performance.

At Bimmer Motors we have developed a program of service to help get your car ready for the cold weather ahead.

Engine Oil
Replace with a lighter viscosity oil grade. Oil filter and drain plug seal replaced with every oil change.

Antifreeze
Checked to prevent cooling system from freezing to -40o. Replenished or replaced if necessary.

Battery and Charging System
Checked to insure that the battery, alternator and belts will perform to the maximum during this season when the most is required from your car's electrical system.

Fuel System
Dry gas and Techron added to the gas tank will help prevent condensation and freezing within the fuel system. These additives should be used at least once each month during cold weather. More often if weather becomes severe.

Heater, Defroster and Defogging System
Check for peak operation. Hoses and thermostat checked and replaced if necessary.

Windshield Wiper and Washer System
Washer fluid and antifreeze added. Wiper blades checked for condition and replaced if necessary. Wiper motor, washer pump, switch, hoses and nozzles checked and repaired where required. Washer nozzles aimed for optimum cleaning and coverage.

Exterior and Interior Lights
Headlights, tail lights, fog lights, and side marker lights and lenses replaced if necessary. Fog lights aimed. Interior dash and instrument lights checked and repaired or replaced.

Tires and Spare
Tire tread checked, snow tires (if equipped) installed, air pressure adjusted to specifications.

Interior and Exterior Detailing
Optional but recommended. Interior seats and carpet shampooed, exterior paint and chrome washed and waxed.
These precautionary steps can protect your car against the harmful effects of road salt, sand and contaminants that cause rust and dull the finish.

Winter is the most taxing time of the year for your car. It is also the time of the year when you need it to perform at its' best every time you turn the key. Don't expect the most out of your car unless you give it some help in advance.
