Our Favorite Winter Tips

Here are our favorite vehicle winter maintenance tips for your Mercedes-Benz:

Check Your Tires
Of all the components in your vehicle, your tires are the only components that come into contact with the road. In Shreveport, LA winter weather can contribute to over 51 inches of rain per year, it’s important to make sure that your tires are in good shape.

While we won’t tell you that you need snow tires or winter tires, you’ll want to check your tires to make sure they have adequate depth and pressure and make sure that you’re safe on the road. If you need tire replacement services, our experts are happy to install a new set for you!

Check Your Battery
Temperatures in Shreveport can drop down to the high 30’s in the winter, making it harder for your battery to turn over your engine. While new batteries can handle this increased load, aging batteries may not be able to survive.

If your car battery is more than three years old, we recommend a battery replacement before temperatures plummet.

Windshield Wipers
Old windshield wipers can struggle to clear your windshield of rain, and negatively affect your visibility. If it’s been more than 12 months since you’ve changed your windshield wipers, we recommend replacing them with new ones. You’ll also want to check your wiper fluid to make sure that you can clear your windshield of debris!

Check Your Lights
Driving with a blown headlight or faulted tail lights can negatively affect your visibility and make it difficult for other drivers to see you. Check all of your vehicle’s lights and make sure that all of your lights work.

Emergency Kit
In the event of an emergency, you’ll want to make sure that you’re prepared for an unfortunate event. While this isn’t quite a vehicle winter maintenance tip, we recommend an emergency kit and first aid kit to make unfortunate events a little less uncomfortable.
