What to Expect When Driving Around Philly and Beyond in the Wintertime

Winter in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware can bring a host of challenging driving conditions. In West Chester, snow and ice accumulation can make roads slippery and treacherous. As you drive further towards Philadelphia, you'll likely encounter even heavier traffic on highways that are already tricky to navigate in winter weather. Downingtown's hilly terrain can prove especially difficult when the roads are coated in a layer of ice or slush.

Over in Exton, PA, snowplows work hard to keep major thoroughfares like Route 100 clear, but side roads may be snow-covered for extended periods. In Wilmington, DE, drivers frequently battle slick, slushy roads and reduced visibility from blowing snow. And in New Castle, DE, roads are prone to freezing over rapidly when temperatures drop due to the city's proximity to the Delaware River.

Fortunately, some proactive winter service at your local Acura dealership can prepare your vehicle to handle these winter hazards more effectively. With the service center at Piazza Acura of West Chester, we offer a full slate of seasonal maintenance services that will get your car or SUV road-ready for the cold months ahead.

Winter Service Checklist

So what exactly should winter service for your vehicle entail? Here are some of the key items our expert Acura technicians will check during your appointment:

• Tire pressure and tread depth: Proper tire inflation and sufficient tread are critical for maintaining traction on wet or snow-covered roads. We'll make sure your tires are filled to the optimal PSI (pounds per square inch) and have enough tread to see you through the season. If new tires are needed, we can help with that too, including with winter sets that keep your all-seasons fresher for warmer weather driving.
• Wiper blades: Worn wiper blades can't effectively clear away snow, sleet, and road spray, leading to impaired visibility. We'll inspect your wipers and replace them if needed.
• Fluids topped off: From engine oil to windshield wiper fluid to antifreeze, we'll check all your vehicle's fluid levels and top them off as needed. The proper fluids keep your car running smoothly even on the coldest days.
• Battery test: Car batteries can struggle in frigid temperatures. We'll test yours to make sure it can hold a strong charge all winter long. If it's nearing the end of its lifespan, we may recommend a new battery to prevent a dead battery when you need to start your car and get to work or attend to family matters around Downingtown or New Castle.
• Hoses and belts: Freezing temperatures can weaken rubber parts like hoses and belts, increasing the risk of a breakdown. We'll examine these components for signs of wear and tear.
