The VVR Guide to Cold Weather Car Care

Lake Geneva winters demand a lot from your vehicle. Here’s your essential guide to cold-weather maintenance from our experienced team.

The Winter Watch List

Pro Tip from Hollywood: “If your car’s putting on a light show or singing you the song of its people, let’s take a look before it decides to turn into a very expensive lawn ornament.”

Battery Blues

Your battery hates winter almost as much as we hate seeing you stranded. Watch for engine turning over slower than a Monday morning, dim headlights, warning lights, and batteries over 3 years old.

Tire talk

Winter traction isn't just important - it's the difference between getting to work and making snow angels in a ditch. Monitor pressure, tread depth, and consider winter tire options.

Winter Vehicle Field Kit

Every winter warrior needs supplies: blanket, flashlight, ice scraper, jumper cables, small shovel, kitty litter, and phone charger.
