Winter can bring a lot of challenges for your car, from the corrosive effects of salt and grit to the added strain on your battery and the fine art of navigating slippery roads. At BMW of Westlake, we want to help you enjoy the season by preparing your BMW for the best and worst of winter weather.

Your tires can really set the tone for your winter driving experience. All-season tires are a good general use tire, but for deep slush, unplowed snow and black ice, nothing can beat a winter tire. Specially formulated rubber keeps the tires supple enough to conform to uneven road conditions in freezing temperatures, while a deep tread pattern helps to carve a path through packed snow and slush. Installing a new set of winter tires also allows us to tighten up your alignment so your steering remains true.

We can also make sure vital engine systems are ready for the cold weather. A check of your battery’s proficiency will give you peace of mind that your car will start up quickly on cold winter mornings. We’ll also check engine fluid levels and have a look at your wiper blades to make sure there aren’t any cracks in the rubber that will keep them from clearing your windshield properly.

Book your winter preparation maintenance today right on our website. Our technicians are ready to help you get a jump start on winter driving. We’ve also got plenty of tips for issues you may encounter, like this handy video on how to reset your tire pressure light if it comes on. If you plan to buy a seasonal set of tires and worry about having the space to store them, ask one of our team members about our tire storage option.

Stop by at your next opportunity and we can help answer any questions you may have.

We are proud to serve drivers in Cleveland, too!
