How to Prepare for a Road Trip Near Colorado Springs
December 27 2023 - Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs

If you expect to be traveling to the mountains around Pueblo, make sure you’re prepared for the weather – especially in the winter. Just to be on the safe side, it doesn’t hurt to bring a blanket, a shovel, and something to eat if you get stranded. You’ll also want to ensure that your car is ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at it. The factory-trained technicians in the service center at Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs can winterize your vehicle for safe, stress-free journeys this winter.

Batteries

If your car’s battery is weak, you may not even make it out of Monument. Frigid weather can make your engine harder to turn over and your car more difficult to start. The service center experts at Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs can test your car’s battery and make sure it has enough juice to start when the mercury drops. They can also replace it with a battery that has more cold-cranking amps.

Tires

Your tires are critical for safe winter driving. If they’re bulging or their treads are worn, they may need to be replaced. Balding tires can make your car slip and slide badly on slick streets in Woodland Park. You may also want to consider getting winter tires from our dealership that have deeper treads for better traction.

Windshield Wiper Blades

Good windshield wipers are a small, but critical way to help avoid winter accidents. Worn or damaged wiper blades can leave streaks or smudges that could hamper your visibility during a snowstorm in Castle Rock. We carry a wide assortment of wiper blades at our service center, so we’re likely to have ones that will fit your BMW vehicle.
