Exotic Auto Repair: Prepare Your Car for Winter

Driving in a New Hampshire winter requires considerable preparation to ensure safety and the excellent condition of your car. No matter what you drive, you need to check your fluids, battery, brakes, exhaust, heaters, wipers, tires, and anything else cold weather could affect. However, if you drive a luxury or exotic vehicle, there are a few extra things you should do. At Silver Arrow Service, we specialize in exotic auto repair in New Hampshire, so we are the team to help you prepare your luxury car for the winter.

Take these tips from our New Hampshire exotic auto repair experts to prepare your luxury vehicle for the winter.

Check Drive Mode Settings

Many modern luxury vehicles have specialized winter driving modes or traction control settings. These features adjust your vehicle’s performance in slippery conditions. Before the roads are covered in ice and snow, you should familiarize yourself with these controls and check they are working properly. You can consult the owner’s manual for details on how to use these features or run your questions by our team.

Protect the Paint

A sleek paint job is essential for any luxury car, and you don’t want winter road conditions to ruin it. In New Hampshire, most towns use road salt or a similar substance to melt ice on the road. Road salt is corrosive and can damage the exterior and undercarriage of your car. To protect your car’s paint job and prevent corrosive damage, you should wash and wax your car and apply a rust-proofing treatment to the undercarriage.

Plan for Storage

Some cars just aren’t built for a New Hampshire winter. If you store your car for the winter, you should take steps to protect it until you take it out again in the spring. These steps include adding a fuel stabilizer, disconnecting the battery, and using a breathable cover. Even if you store your car indoors over the winter, a cover will protect the interior and keep critters from getting inside.
