Keeping Rochester Drivers Safe This Winter: Coast Auto Repair’s Expert Solutions

Common Winter Car Problems in Rochester, NY

Rochester winters are notorious for their harsh conditions, and they bring unique challenges for vehicle owners. At Coast Auto Repair, we’ve identified the most common winter car issues:

  • Dead Batteries: Sub-zero temperatures can significantly reduce battery performance.
  • Frozen Fluids: Windshield washer fluid and even gasoline can freeze if untreated.
  • Tire Problems: Cold weather causes underinflation and reduces traction on icy roads.
  • Brake Issues: Ice and salt can lead to wear and corrosion.
  • Frozen Locks and Doors: Water can freeze in locks and seals, causing inconvenience.

Our team specializes in diagnosing and fixing these problems quickly, so you’re never stranded in the cold.

5 Tips to Prevent Winter Car Issues

Staying ahead of car troubles is key during Rochester’s cold months. Here’s what Coast Auto Repair recommends for January:

  1. Check Your Battery Health: Test battery charge and clean terminals to avoid failure.
  2. Switch to Winter Tires: These tires improve traction in snow and icy conditions.
  3. Inspect Brakes and Fluids: Ensure brake pads are in good shape, and use winter-grade fluids.
  4. Keep Emergency Supplies Ready: A winter kit with blankets, flares, and tools can be lifesaving.
  5. Wash Your Car Regularly: Protect your vehicle from salt corrosion with frequent washes and undercarriage sealants.

By following these tips, you’ll stay safer on the road this winter.
