As we move into winter in the Chicagoland area, it’s important to bring your luxury model to our dealership for Mercedes-Benz service. Since our area sees a huge drop in temperatures — not to mention the ice, snow, salt, and grime that cover the streets — you need to make sure your vehicle is ready to take on the elements. Here’s everything you need to know about preparing for winter from the pros at Mercedes-Benz of Orland Park.
Our Winterization Checklist
When you come to our Mercedes-Benz service center to prepare your vehicle for winter, our expert certified technicians will perform a variety of maintenance tasks, including:
- Battery inspection
- Tire change or rotation
- Wheel alignment
- Oil change
- Radiator and heating inspection
- Brake inspection
- Filter changes
- Windshield wiper blade replacement
We can even help with accessorizing your vehicle for the cold months. Just ask about genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and accessories such as car covers, all-weather floor mats, and winter adventure equipment like roof racks for your skis and snowboards.
Things You Can Do to Prepare Your Vehicle
In addition to the service tasks we’ll handle, there are a few things you can do to set your car or SUV up for winter. Pack an ice scraper and snow shovel into your vehicle and refresh the emergency kit you travel with. Keep your gas tank at least half full throughout the cold months, and schedule time for a car wash on warmer winter days to keep your model free of salt and dirt.
