Winter Car Maintenance Tips | Ron’s Toy Shop

Winter Car Maintenance in Manchester NH — Get Ready for Cold Weather Driving

When the temperatures drop in New England, your vehicle needs extra care to stay reliable. At Ron’s Toy Shop in Manchester, NH, we specialize in winter car maintenance — helping you make sure your coolant, tires, and fluids are ready for freezing weather and slippery roads.

Why Winter Car Prep Matters

Cold weather is tough on vehicles. Fluids thicken, batteries weaken, and tires lose traction. Taking care of key maintenance items before the first snow prevents breakdowns, improves safety, and keeps your car running smoothly all winter long.

1. Check Your Coolant and Fluids

Your coolant (antifreeze) is your engine’s best defense against freezing. If the level is low or the mixture isn’t balanced, it can lead to expensive damage. Our team can test your coolant and inspect all other fluids, including:

  • Engine oil
  • Brake fluid
  • Power steering fluid
  • Windshield washer fluid

Even small amounts of moisture can freeze in these systems — so it’s smart to have them checked before the cold sets in.

2. Inspect Your Tires for Winter Readiness

Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road — and they’re critical for traction. At Ron’s Toy Shop, we check tread depth, inflation, and wear patterns to ensure you’re ready for winter driving. If you’re running all-season tires, consider switching to winter tires for improved grip and stopping power in snow and ice.

3. Replace Worn Wiper Blades

Snow and salt buildup can quickly reduce visibility. A new set of wiper blades ensures clear vision during storms. If your blades streak, chatter, or miss spots, replace them now before the first snow flies. We carry and install wiper blades for most makes and models.

4. Stock Up on Winter Essentials

A few simple tools can make your winter days a lot easier:

  • Collapsible shovel
  • Heavy-duty ice scraper
  • Snow broom
  • Jumper cables
  • Blanket and gloves

Keep them in your trunk all season long — small prep for big peace of mind.
