Wintertime in Indiana can get very cold, very suddenly. That's why it's important to take care of winter maintenance for your Cadillac Escalade or XT5 at our dealership. The air here in Vincennes IN can frequently drop below the freezing level and that can be hard on any vehicle. What's more, there are wintertime safety hazards that you want to be ready for. That's why we encourage you to schedule an appointment in our service center at Uebelhor and Sons Cadillac Vincennes and let us take care of wintertime maintenance checks.
Winter Checkpoint #1: Let us care for your battery
The battery in your Cadillac faces some unusually harsh conditions in the winter months around Princeton and Terre Haute. Freezing temperatures make it a lot harder for your battery to give your Cadillac the power it needs especially first thing in the morning. We’ll be happy to do a load test to find out if your battery has enough power to keep starting your car. If not, we have first-class batteries from well-known brands in stock and we’ll be happy to install one for you.
Winter Checkpoint #2: We’ll take care of your brakes
Your brakes become even more critical to your safety in the winter, especially when you're traveling over Indiana roadways that are covered with snow or rain. If your brake pads are beginning to wear out, the chances are that you might hear a high-pitched squeak whenever you step on the brake pedal. We can check your brakes and install new pads and rotors.
Winter Checkpoint #3: We’ll take a look at your tires
Your Cadillac tires are the only points of contact between your family and the road. We’ll be happy to inspect the tread depth on your tires to make sure you have enough rubber to drive safely on Mt. Carmel winter roads. If you have anything less than 4/32nds of an inch worth of tread depth, we will recommend that you get a new set of tires. We have a great selection of tires in stock and we can install them for you.
Winter Checkpoint #4: Let us check your alignment
Even if you don’t need new tires, it’s a good idea to have us check your wheel alignment to make sure you're tracking properly. As you can imagine, winter can be hard on our Indiana roads and you might hit a pothole hard as you’re driving around Washington IN. That can be enough to knock your wheels out of alignment. If we find that you need an alignment, we can give you one and get you back on track for winter.
Winter Checkpoint #5: We can check your fluid levels
One of the most important fluid levels in wintertime is your antifreeze. It's a specially-formulated chemical that helps keep the water in your Cadillac’s cooling system from freezing when temperatures get ice cold. We can make sure you have enough antifreeze and do a flush and refill if necessary. We can also check the fluid in your windshield wiper fluid reservoir and make sure you have enough to keep your windshield clean in stormy winter weather as you drive around Robinson IN.
Bring in your Cadillac for a winter checkup
When you give your Cadillac the winterization procedures it needs, you’ll be ready when winter temperatures take a big drop and roads become slippery. We encourage you to schedule an appointment for a winter checkup in our service center at Uebelhor and Sons Cadillac Vincennes in Vincennes IN.
