Get Your Honda Ready for Winter Travel in Mid-Michigan

With winter almost here in mid-Michigan, the driving conditions we will be encountering are sure to start becoming more challenging. As such, your family Honda should be ready to confidently tackle these less-than-ideal situations such as snow-covered roads and bitterly cold temperatures. The Thelen Honda Service Center in Bay City, MI, is ready to help get your family vehicle ready for the upcoming season. With our expertly-trained technicians and access to an array of OEM Honda parts and other recommended resources, we are confident that you will be satisfied with the quality of service your vehicle receives while it is with us!

What Services Should Be Considered for Winter Travel?

Antifreeze / Battery – As the temperature gets colder in mid-Michigan, your Honda will be subjected to increasingly demanding conditions. This includes specific components like the battery, which could find it harder to start up as the temperature drops. Antifreeze is also vital to ensuring safe travel during winter in Michigan. If you want to make sure these two elements of your Honda are ready to handle winter, our technicians will be happy to top off your antifreeze levels and check your battery. Should a battery replacement be required, we will be happy to supply one that is recommended for your vehicle. 

Winter Tires – These special tires will make your time cruising around mid-Michigan during winter much easier. Made of softer rubber and featuring deeper tread with a unique design, these tires are ideal for the more treacherous road conditions that winter brings. Specifically, the deeper tread helps maximize the amount of snow that is displaced by your Honda to ensure peak grip levels. If the roads are covered with ice, these tires also feature little notches that enhance grip on the slick surface. Those who are interested in having a set of winter tires installed are invited to speak with our Service Center staff about installation.
