Get Ready For Winter Driving With Tips From Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City

With the winter weather coming soon, it’s important to make sure that your vehicle is ready for the snow and the ice.  There are a few parts of your vehicle that you can self-check but bringing your Ram vehicle into a dealership is a great way to have your entire vehicle checked out before the cold weather.  Here at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City, Michigan we can help you with any battery issues, antifreeze leaks, heating system parts, or even a new tire replacement, if any of these problems arise in your own Ram vehicle. 

Before the snow hits, there are some areas you can try and keep an eye out on by yourself.  First and foremost is the tread on your tires – you can try the penny test.  Use a penny on the tread of your tires and if you see the top of Abraham Lincoln’s head, your tread is an issue.  You should also be aware of your tire pressure.  Too low of tire pressure can make handling on icy roads less stable and could potentially be a danger. 

You can also build yourself a winter emergency kit for a potential roadside situation, like running out of fuel or puncturing a tire.  Having a good collection of emergency-ready items is very important while you’re waiting for assistance.  Some items that would work well in this kit would include blankets, ice scraper, a multi-tool, flashlight, jumper cables, and a first aid kit.  Plus, you should always remember to have a phone charger for your phone.   

If you are ready for assistance inspecting your Ram vehicle to prepare for winter, bring it into Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today because we can help you!  We will let you know if your vehicle needs any servicing to keep your Great Lakes Bay Region drive as safe and easy as possible, no matter what the weather throws at you!
