Winter tune-up checklist

This winter, consider asking your mechanic to provide a complete tune-up. This will help ensure that your car runs smoothly all season long. Though your specific car’s servicing needs will depend on its model, features, and age, mechanics generally inspect the following components during a tune-up:

• Windshield wipers

• Battery

• Spark plugs

• Belts

• Steering and suspension

• Filters

• Brakes

• Engine

• Fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, etc.)

• Headlights and brake lights

• Exhaust system

• Heating system

• Electrical system

• Thermostat

As garages are usually busy in the winter, don’t delay in making an appointment for your car’s tune-up.
