With winter well on its way, there's much to prepare for, especially in your BMW car or SAV. Not only do you need to ensure that your routine maintenance is up to date, but you should also have winter service performed to prepare for the cold season ahead. What Type of Winter Services Should I Have Done? Besides the typical routine maintenance services, such as oil changes, brake inspections, and multi-point inspections, there are winter seasonal services that are recommended for every Malvern, Villanova, or other PA driver. These winter services include: Tire Changes – Some Berwyn, Wayne, or Norristown area drivers prefer to change their summer tires over to winter tires for better protection against the snow and ice. Winter tires are designed with a more flexible rubber for better temperature change protection as well as with a thicker tire tread. These characteristics help your BMW get you where you need to be with ease, no matter what type of inclement weather may appear. Battery Changes – Your car's battery can be affected by the freezing temperatures. Be sure that the battery is well-charged and won't leave you stranded in the cold. Heater Inspection – During the winter weather, your car's heater can be a lifesaver. Not only will it keep you warm while you drive, but it will also help you see the road clearly. Make sure that the heater is working properly and blowing hot air when required. And Much More! – If something isn't working right with your vehicle, have it taken care of before the winter arrives. It's much easier to deal with when it's warmer out.

As we thaw from winter's chill here in Devon, PA, so do the roads. And while that may sound like an invitation for a road trip, you better be careful traveling at highway speeds during pothole season. One hard hit into a crater-like crevice and you can knock your wheels out of alignment, blow out a tire, damage the suspension, break fuel lines -- the list of possibilities goes on and on. In fact, with as cold as it's been here this winter, we're probably going to be seeing a pretty merciless pothole season, so even if you don't feel like your car is unbalanced, it's really worth getting your BMW inspected for pothole damage and have the wheels aligned if need be after we're through the worst of it.
