Winterizing Your GMC Vehicle

A crucial part of your annual auto maintenance is to make an appointment with our GMC service center so we can prepare your SUV or truck for the cold season. Winters in Upstate New York can be brutal on vehicles, but we can help you and your favorite model battle the elements. Here’s what you should know about winterizing your vehicle with the pros at Matt Nimey GMC.

Our Vehicle Winterization Checklist

When you make a GMC service appointment to winterize your vehicle, here are a few things we’ll take care of:

• Car Battery inspection
• Oil change
• Fluid check and top off
• Brake inspection
• Belt and hose inspection
• Radiator check
• Light bulb inspection and replacement
• Tire rotation and wheel alignment (if you’re due for this service)

Optional but recommended services include installing new wiper blades and putting snow tires on your truck or SUV. If you’re using your GMC truck to plow and it’s equipped with enhanced engine or oil cooling, have that checked, too; it may be cold out, but that doesn’t mean your engine can’t run hot!

Things You Can Do for Your GMC Vehicle

We’ll get your GMC vehicle’s inner workings prepared for winter, and there are a few things you might want to consider, too. For example, if you don’t already have all-weather floor mats in your cabin, let us order some so the dirt, snow, salt, and other grime don’t make a mess inside your vehicle. Speaking of protection from the elements, if you’re the proud owner of a GMC truck model, consider getting a genuine GMC truck bed liner so you can safely and confidently tote around your cargo all winter long.
