Warm Up Checks for Your Car This Winter!

Mark Sugar's Blog | Warm Up Checks for Your Car This Winter!

There is not much worse than getting in a freezing cold car during winter time. Those first few minutes can be excruciating! You feel the winter cold down to your bones when you get in a cold car!

If you find that your car just doesn’t warm up to your desired level of comfort, there may be a problem. Here are a couple of simple checks to make before you head to the mechanic.

Check your coolant level - It could make an enormous difference if you are only a liter low on this most important fluid and can affect the quality of heat from your HVAC system. Always check your fluids when the engine is cold and you are parked on a level surface. You will find your coolant reservoir with marked ‘low’ and ‘full’ lines on the side. Never fill past the full line. Instead of using water, make sure you buy the proper coolant for your vehicle. There are several on the market to choose from, but the standard is a pre-mixed brand. These are already diluted to the maximum freeze-point protection.

Check your air filter - Just as a dirty and clogged furnace filter can reduce the efficiency of the furnace in your home, a clogged cabin air filter can reduce the efficiency of heat flow in your car. It can also contribute to lower gas mileage and window fogging.

Make time on these freezing wintry mornings and start your car and let it run a few minutes to warm up the inside before you jump in and take off down the road. 

Stay warm in all your travels this winter and if your looking for a new vehicle with a toasty warm heater, give me a call!
