Volkswagen Winter Maintenance Services

• Tire Inspection - We recommend that winter maintenance include a thorough tire inspection. Certified Volkswagen tire inspections include an irregular treadwear evaluation, sidewall, valve stem condition check, tread depth measurement, and inflation adjustment. Many drivers install a winter tread tire for peak traction and safety on slick, icy roads.
• Battery Inspection & Testing - Inspecting the condition and testing the battery’s electrical performance is recommended for winter maintenance. Volkswagen recommends replacement service for batteries with a failed physical inspection or electrical test.
• Four-Wheel Brake Inspection - Winter maintenance should include a thorough braking system assessment, including all essential components, including brake pad measurement.
• Windshield Wiper Blade Inspection & Replacement - Check the wiper blades and replace them if they have rubber damage, leave heavy streaking, or are more than 1 year old.
• HVAC Inspection - Be sure to check the heater, defroster, steering wheel warmer, and seat warmers before sub-zero temperatures arrive.
• Engine Coolant/Antifreeze Inspection & Exchange - We recommend checking the coolant/antifreeze, topping it off if low, and exchanging it at the recommended miles or if contaminated.
• Roadside Safety Kit - With winter weather risks ahead, Volkswagen recommends having a roadside safety kit with essential resources handy. Contact us for assistance getting a Volkswagen OEM roadside safety kit from the accessories department.
