At Toyota of Irving, Texas, we are dedicated to helping our customers prepare for the worst winter can offer. Whether you need some basic maintenance or a full check-up before winter, we are here to cover all the basics and provide value-added offerings, such as a complimentary multi-point inspection. With these tips, it will be easier to safely motor through the cold weather months and beyond.

Popular Winter Maintenance Services at Toyota of Irving

  • Texas Tire Basics – North Texas winters rarely require the use of snow tires and safety gear. Instead, we need our customers to prioritize a tire inspection before the temperatures dip. At an inspection, we can ensure your tires have the tread to safely navigate winter roads. We also check for proper inflation and look for any unusual tire wear patterns that may point to an alignment issue.
  • Toyota Vehicle Fluids – Antifreeze is the vehicle fluid most associated with the winter months. You always need to ensure your antifreeze levels are adequate and high-quality moving into the cold weather. However, all fluids should be checked as you winterize your car. For example, windshield wiper fluid may need to be replaced with a cold-weather version based on how frequently you drive into icy regions. The winter months can also be hard on wipers as rain and snowy mixes make them work overtime. Before the seasons change, a wiper check and replacement when necessary can help keep the windshield clean and visibility at 100% throughout the season.
  • HVAC Inspection and Service – A full vehicle inspection before winter should include an HVAC system review. It can work overtime in the cold weather to manage temperature and handle essential functions like defrosting. In our inspections, we check for leaks, worn hoses and clogged filters, review defroster performance and even check accessories like seat and steering wheel warmers.
  • Car Batteries and Brake Maintenance – Brake inspections are a great idea before winter as more careful driving is required through Texas rainstorms and snowy terrain. Coupling this essential service with battery testing can help prevent a variety of hazardous situations. Car batteries often die in the winter as they require an initial surge of power for cranking the engine. A battery slowly depleting through the previous months may often be overwhelmed in the first cold snap and can even leave you stranded. With a quick battery test, we can make sure you have enough power for the next several months.
  • Emergency Care Kit – Taking care of your car is important, as it will help keep you out of the elements and rolling safely. However, the unexpected can always happen, making considering your personal needs as important as getting your car ready for winter. The best way to stay safe is to always have a personal emergency kit at all times. In the winter, this needs to include warm layers of clothing, including a heavy-duty jacket or coveralls, blankets, gloves, a hat or head covering, snacks, water, a flashlight, batteries, any recharging accessories you can safely store in the cold and first aid supplies. Year-round, a car emergency kit needs to include ice scraping tools, flares, booster cables and a multi-tool to help with basic emergency needs. When space isn’t at a premium in the winter, also consider adding a snow shovel.
