As the weather turns colder there are some basic things you must do to make sure your vehicle is reliable and safe for the colder months ahead. 

Have your cooling system cleaned and flushed, and new antifreeze put in.

Regular cooling system service should include a thorough cooling system checking and leak test. Your mechanic will put the system under pressure and visually inspect for leaks.  If any of your hose show signs of cracking, rotting or softness replace them even if they're not leaking yet.

Check your windshield wipers for wear. Replace if needed.
