It's not too late to treat your VW Jetta or VW Tiguan to some winter maintenance to ensure that it keeps running smoothly during the coldest months of the year. Winter can be harsh on your vehicle, and it presents some uniquely challenging driving conditions that can make the time you spend behind the wheel on a day-to-day basis exceptionally difficult. Here at Prestige Volkswagen of Stamford, we can help you get your car into shape for winter driving so that you can enjoy a smoother driving experience and help your car perform at its best as you drive around Fairfield County, CT and Stamford.
Winter Tires
If you haven't already gotten winter tires on your VW Passat or VW Atlas, now is the time. Winter tires are made specifically for cold weather and wintry roads around Fairfield County. They are more flexible in frigid temperatures, which makes it easier for them to grip the road when it's cold out. They also have deeper, wider tread patterns than other tires, which allow them to traverse snowy surfaces and gain better traction.
Battery Check
Batteries are often the first things to go when winter hits. Cold weather in the Stamford area can sap your car battery of its strength, which is why waking up to a car that won't start on a cold winter morning is such a common occurrence. We highly recommend bringing your car to our service center so that we can test your battery and make sure that it's strong enough to get you through winter to avoid battery-related breakdowns. If you need a new battery near Greenwich, CT or Norwalk, CT, we have genuine VW battery replacements ready.
Windshield Wipers
Your windshield is much harder to keep clear in winter because of the precipitation and grime that so often finds its way onto your vehicle. We recommend checking your windshield wipers to ensure that the blades are in good shape. If they are worn, or the rubber is separating, they can cause streaks across your windshield. We can replace your wiper blades for you here at our dealership and top off your washer fluid.
