Winter Service Tips

Change Your Oil and Fluids

The cold winter temperatures around Massapequa can cause your engine a lot of stress because of its affect on your motor oil. Your motor oil is responsible for protecting your engine from dirt and debris, as well as lubricating and cooling the many moving parts. Cold temperatures cause your motor oil to flow slower, preventing it from properly protecting and lubricating your engine. That's why we encourage drivers to get their oil changed in the winter. We offer traditional and synthetic motor oil changes in our service center and will get your vehicle equipped with the right oil to flow freely and effectively for many miles to come around Nassau County.

The same thing goes for the other fluids in your vehicle, especially your coolant. Your coolant, or anti-freeze, is responsible for keeping your engine from freezing. We suggest refilling all your vehicle's fluids today.

Check and Change Your Tires

Cold temperatures causes your tires to lose pressure. That's why it's important to check your tires before you start driving around Suffolk County. It's also important that you check your tire's tread to ensure that you have optimal traction and control. If you need new tires or snow tires, you can purchase them here.

Change Your Windshield Wipers

Winter weather around Long Island can be inclement and unexpected. That's why you should change your windshield wipers if they're leaving steaks.
