Portland OR winter preventative maintenance services

Winter is coming, which means now is the time to start thinking about doing some winter preventative maintenances services. Freeman Motors offers a variety of services, which includes services to get your vehicle ready for the winter. Keep reading to see which services you should start thinking about getting before winter comes full force.

Tire rotation and changes

There are plenty of ways to extend the lifespan of your tires. Ensuring you keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure and rotating them helps extend their life. If your tires are worn down, have them replaced sooner rather than later. One way to know whether or not to change them is by the penny test. If you put Lincoln head down between the trends and you can see him, you will need to change your tires soon.

Brake Repair

If your brakes are grinding, vibrating or do not respond right away, it may be time to change them out. An easy way to get into an accident in the winter is not being able to brake fast enough when it is slippery out. There is no exact timeline as to when you should replace your brakes so always keep your ears out for noises out of the norm when you brake.
