The winter season in Indiana and Kentucky can become very frigid for weeks at a time. That's why it's important to take care of winter maintenance for your Cadillac Escalade, XT5 or XT6 at our dealership. The temperatures here in Jasper, IN can frequently head below the freezing level and that can be hard on any vehicle. In addition, there are wintertime safety hazards that you want to be ready for. That's why we invite you to schedule an appointment in our service center at Uebelhor and Sons Cadillac Jasper and let us take care of wintertime maintenance for your Cadillac.
Winter Prep Point #1: Let us check your battery
The battery in your Cadillac has to endure some unusually harsh conditions in the winter months around Evansville, IN and Louisville, KY. Low freezing temperatures can make it a lot harder for your Cadillac battery to give your SUV or sedan the power it needs, especially early in the morning. Ask us to do a load test to find out if your battery has the power that’s required to keep starting your Cadillac XT4 or CT5. If not, we have outstanding batteries in a variety of price ranges and we’ll be happy to install one for you.
Winter Prep Point #2: We can take care of your brakes
Your brakes become an even more vital component of your safety in the winter, especially when you're driving over Indiana or Kentucky highways that are covered with snow or rain. If your brake pads are beginning to wear out, you might hear a high-pitched squeak every time you step on the brake pedal. We can check your brakes and install new pads, and if we catch them early enough, we can avoid having to also install more expensive rotors.
Winter Prep Point #3: We can take care of your tires
The tires on your Cadillac are the only points of contact between your family and the road. We’ll be happy to examine the tread depth on your tires to make sure you have enough rubber to travel safely over Newburgh IN roads in the winter. If your tires have anything less than 4/32nds of an inch of tread depth, we will recommend that you get new tires. We have a great selection of trusted brand-name tires in stock and we will be happy install a complete set for you.
Winter Prep Point #4: Now’s the time to get an alignment
Whether or not you need new tires, it’s important to have us check your wheel alignment to make sure you're moving ahead in a straight line. As you can imagine, winter conditions can be hard on our Indiana and Kentucky roads and you could easily hit a pothole as you’re driving around Owensboro KY. That single incident might be enough to knock your wheels out of alignment. If our inspection tells us that you need an alignment, we can give you one and get you back on track for winter.
Winter Prep Point #5: Allow us to check your fluid levels
One of the most critical fluid levels in the winter is your antifreeze. It's a specially-formulated chemical that helps the water in your Cadillac’s cooling system avoid freezing when Indiana or Kentucky temperatures get ice cold. We can do a check to see if you have enough antifreeze and do a flush and refill if necessary. We can also inspect the fluid in your windshield wiper fluid reservoir and make sure you have enough to keep your windshield clean in stormy winter weather as you drive around Bloomington IN.
Bring your Cadillac in for a winter checkup
We encourage you to contact us to schedule a winter maintenance and overall checkup appointment in our service center at your earliest convenience. We look forward to helping you get your Cadillac winterized at Uebelhor and Sons Cadillac Jasper in Jasper, IN.
