When it comes to winterization services, we’re your local service center at Volkswagen of Winchester, and we want to help you keep your car in the best shape during the winter as possible.
Our Top Ten List of Winterization Services for Your Volkswagen
- Change Washer Fluid to Winter Blend: The winter blends of washer fluids have a much lower chance of developing ice crystals than the normal blends.
- Check Windshield Wiper Blades: Your windshield wiper blades will be taking the winter precipitation out of your vision, so it’s best to have them at 100%.
- Check/Replace Coolant and Antifreeze: The engine coolant and antifreeze work together to keep your engine cool but not frozen, so it’s best to have those levels up to full.
