Is your Range Rover, Defender or Discovery ill-equipped to take on winter driving? Our Freeport service center is here to help you with a few winter-focused tips and our certified technicians can perform the required services or repairs to prepare you for cold weather, snowy roads, and everything in between.

Winter-Focused Tune-Up

By getting a detailed look at what your Range Rover, Defender or Discovery needs in terms of service, you can brace yourself for cold-weather driving with peace of mind. Ensure that your SUV’s windshield wiper fluids are at an appropriate level in order to tackle a foggy or frosty windshield before your commute, and check on the SUV’s battery life in order to avoid a dead battery unexpectedly.

Winter Tires and Tire Inspection

Because cold weather tends to cause tires to lose pressure, your SUV’s handling may be negatively affected in the process. If you see the tire pressure icon light up on your dashboard, make sure your tires are filled to the proper level. Additionally, installing winter tires can help you through the cold months, as they’re designed to tackle snow and salt.

Ensure Your Vehicle Exterior is Equipped

If you have to drive through a snowstorm, make sure all the visibility aspects are taken care of. Your headlights and tail lights should be functioning properly, and double check to see if your wipers can properly push snow or rain aside as it falls onto your windshield.

Keep a Winter-Ready Emergency Kit

It’s important to be prepared for a worst-case scenario – if you find yourself stranded with a dead battery or in deep snow, make sure your luxury SUV has a kit with a snow shovel, an ice scraper, gloves, boots and even materials to improve traction on slippery roads like sand.
