Winter Driving Tips

Get Ready for Winter with the Thelen Chrysler Service Center

Before we know it, the chilly temperatures and snow-covered roads that winter is sure to bring will be here in mid-Michigan. As such, you want to make sure that your Chrysler is ready to handle the conditions that will be arriving soon. At Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City, MI, we are proud to be a trusted destination for quality Chrysler service all year long. With our knowledgeable Service Center staff and access to OEM Chrysler parts, you can count on us being ready to get your vehicle prepared for the upcoming winter driving conditions. 

What To Consider for Winter Driving Conditions in Mid-Michigan

Tires – Winter road conditions involve trying to drive over slippery surfaces like snow and ice. Without tires that are ready to handle these conditions, you will quickly find getting around mid-Michigan becomes more troublesome. Our technicians will be happy to check the health and the tread depth of your current set of tires to ensure they are ready for the more demanding conditions. If we find that you could use a new set of tires, we will be happy to offer you suggestions such as special winter tires that are designed to make winter driving much easier to undertake with confidence. 

Battery – An older battery or one that has suffered some damage such as cracking or leaking can have an increased likelihood of failure when subjected to the brutal conditions that winter brings. As such, having your current Chrysler battery tested for strength and damage is a great investment of time for your safety and peace of mind. When you call us to schedule an appointment with our Service Center, make sure you note that you would like your battery tested. Should we determine that a new battery is recommended for performance and reliability, our team will offer you options that are recommended by Chrysler to meet their vehicle specifications.
