1. Ensure Reliable Cold-Weather Starting

Cold mornings can be tough on your battery. Fall is the perfect time to have your battery tested and replaced if necessary, so you won’t be stranded when temperatures dip. Our technicians at McCarthy Chevrolet of Olathe can check your battery, charging system, and alternator to ensure your Chevy starts every time.


2. Prepare Your Tires for Winter Roads

Temperature drops affect tire pressure and traction. Our service team can:

  • Inspect tire tread depth and wear
  • Rotate or replace tires as needed
  • Check and adjust tire pressure for cold weather

This ensures maximum traction on slick roads and improves overall safety for drivers in Kansas City and Overland Park.


3. Top Off Fluids and Protect Your Engine

Winter conditions put extra stress on your vehicle. Fall service includes:

  • Checking and replacing engine oil with cold-weather-appropriate grades
  • Refilling coolant/antifreeze to prevent freezing
  • Inspecting brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid

Proper fluids keep your engine running smoothly and prevent costly repairs during winter months.


4. Inspect Brakes for Winter Safety

Slippery roads demand reliable brakes. Our trained technicians will:

  • Inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers
  • Test braking performance
  • Replace worn components to ensure safe stopping in snow, ice, or rain

Safe brakes are essential for drivers in Olathe, Overland Park, and Kansas City, especially during unpredictable winter weather.


5. Keep Heating, Defrosting, and Visibility at Their Best

Cold weather can strain your HVAC system and windshield wipers. During a fall service, we’ll:
