Winter Maintenance & Tips

Top Winter Maintenance Tips

• Engine Anti-Freeze – The anti-freeze fluid helps protect the engine from harsh temperatures. During the summer, it protects the engine from heating, and during winter, it protects the engine from freezing. We can replenish the coolant fluid with a high-quality and fully compatible fluid for Honda vehicles.
• Brake Inspection – Honda vehicles have excellent brakes, but you need to take care of them to keep them in top condition. We can inspect the brake pads, rotors, brake assemblies and hoses, brake fluid, and other brake parts of your Honda to make sure they are all in good working order.
• Battery Test and Inspection – As you can imagine, the cold temperature of winter makes the car battery work harder. The extra stress might lead to the early failure of the battery. Allow our expert technicians to test the battery and check other parts of the system such as the wires and alternator.
• Wiper Blades – Worn-out windshield wiper blades are a serious safety hazard, limiting the visibility of your windshield. The rubber of the wiper blades is more vulnerable to cracking in cold temperatures. We can check the rubber and frame to determine if new Honda OEM wiper blades are required by your vehicle. We carry OEM wiper blades for all Honda models.
• HVAC Inspection – You need the heating features of your Honda to be performing at their best for winter in Sioux Falls. At Vern Eide Honda, we can check the heater core, refrigerant pressure, blower motor, and other parts of the HVAC system to make sure you are driving comfortably this winter.
• Windshield Crack and Chip Inspection – One small crack in the windshield can propagate to a larger crack that can compromise the safety of the windshield. We can fix small cracks, but your vehicle might need windshield replacement service if it spreads. It is best to get regular windshield inspections from certified technicians.
