- The heater or defrost is slow or weak

- Heater and Defrost Check — We make sure your heat and defrost work properly, since a clear, warm windshield is essential for safe winter driving.
- Fluid Level and Condition Check — We check key fluids that thicken in the cold, including coolant and washer fluid, and top off or service as needed.
