Are Your Brakes Ready for Winter?

As temperatures drop and snow begins to fall, winter driving can quickly become unpredictable. Icy roads, freezing temperatures, and road salt all put added stress on your vehicle, especially your brakes. Before the harsh weather sets in, it’s important to make sure your braking system is ready to handle whatever winter throws your way.

Cold Weather Challenges for Your Brakes

• Brake Fluid Performance: Cold temperatures can affect your brake fluid, reducing its efficiency and making your brakes feel less responsive.
• Slippery Roads: Ice and snow can make it harder to stop quickly, increasing your risk of sliding or losing control.
• Salt and Moisture Damage: Road salt and moisture can speed up corrosion on your brake components, wearing down pads and rotors faster than usual.
