Preparing Your Porsche for Winter in Owings Mills, MD
Is your Porsche prepared for winter with sub-zero conditions and icy roads ahead? If not, we recommend getting winter maintenance for the best driving experience defined by reliability, comfort, and safety. Many essential vehicle components experience faster depreciation in the summer yet need to be in the best condition possible for winter with very different driving conditions. Continue reading about Porsche’s recommended winter maintenance and schedule service at Porsche Owings Mills, near Baltimore, Reisterstown, Towson, and Pikesville, MD.
Tire Inspection: Winter preparation should include a tire inspection. Certified Porsche tire inspections include checking for irregular tread wear and sidewall damage, measuring the tread depth, and adjusting air pressures if needed. Many Porsche owners switch to winter tread tires for optimal handling and safety on slick roads.
Battery Inspection & Testing: Extreme heat causes faster battery depreciation, and sub-zero temperatures cause poor battery performance. You can prevent the hassle of a dead battery immobilizing your Porsche this winter with a battery inspection with electrical testing and replacement service as needed.
Brake Inspection: Porsche recommends a thorough four-wheel braking system inspection for winter maintenance, including a visual component check with brake pads measured.
Winter Blend Windshield Washer Fluid: Installing winter blend windshield washer fluid is an excellent strategy for removing ice efficiently.
HVAC Inspection: Be sure to check the HVAC system before sub-zero weather arrives, including the heater, defroster, steering wheel warmer, and seat warmers.
Windshield Wiper Blade Inspection & Replacement: Porsche recommends checking the windshield wiper blades for winter maintenance. Replace old blades that have rubber damage, perform poorly by leaving heavy streaks/film/haze, or are more than 1 year old.
Roadside Safety Kit: All automakers recommend preparing a roadside safety kit when driving in winter with slick roads and sub-zero temperatures. Contact us if you need assistance with your Porsche’s roadside emergency kit.
Coolant Fluid/Antifreeze Inspection & Exchange: Porsche recommends checking the coolant fluid/antifreeze for optimal engine temperature stabilization. Top off the coolant fluid or get an exchange service if needed.
