How To: Winterize Your Toyota | Houston, TX

Are you feeling the temperatures drop, Houston, Tomball, and Spring customers? That means it’s time to prep your Toyota! Getting your car, truck, or SUV ready for the season ensures it runs smoothly and safely. Here’s how you can winterize your Toyota for Texas weather from your team at Fred Haas Toyota Country!

Check Your Battery!

Once the temperatures start to drop, your car’s battery can get weaker, making it harder to start your engine. It’s important to inspect your battery for signs of corrosion on your terminals/cleaning with battery cleaner, and testing your battery before driving anywhere!

Inspect Your Tires

Proper tire maintenance is crucial for handling cold, wet, or icy roads, for be sure to check your tires’ tread depth and tire pressure. If you plan to be in a place where the roads are always slick, consider getting all-weather tires for extra safety and traction.

Inspect Your Wipers and Defroster

Clear visibility is critical during winter storms or frosty mornings. If you can’t remember the last time you replaced your wiper blades, get this done before going into the winter weather. You’ll know they’re old if they leave streaks or squeak when used! Ensure your front and rear defrosters work properly to clear frost and fog quickly.
