Get Winter Service Done at Gates Honda in Richmond, KY

As the winter months approach in the Lexington, KY, area, it’s essential to prepare your Honda for the challenges colder weather brings. At Gates Honda, our trusted service center specializes in winterizing your vehicle, ensuring it’s ready to tackle snow, ice, and freezing temperatures safely and efficiently.

Essential Winter Services for Your Honda

Our certified Honda technicians are equipped to handle all your winter service needs. Here are the key services we recommend:

1. Battery Check and Replacement

Cold temperatures can significantly affect your Honda's battery performance. We’ll test your battery’s health, clean terminals, and replace it if needed to ensure reliable starts all winter long.

2. Tire Inspection and Winter Tires

Driving in snow and icy conditions requires optimal traction. We check tire tread depth, pressure, and alignment to maintain grip and safety. If needed, we can install winter tires designed specifically for cold-weather performance.

3. Oil Change with Winter-Grade Oil

Engine oil thickens in cold temperatures, which can impact performance. Switching to winter-grade oil ensures your engine runs smoothly, even on the coldest mornings.

4. Antifreeze and Coolant Service

Proper antifreeze levels and coolant condition are critical for preventing freezing and maintaining your engine’s efficiency. Our technicians will test and top off your fluids as needed.

5. Windshield Wipers and Washer Fluid

Visibility is crucial in winter. We can replace worn wiper blades with winter-grade ones and fill your washer reservoir with de-icing fluid to ensure a clear view in snow and sleet.

6. Brake System Inspection

Icy roads demand a responsive braking system. We’ll inspect your Honda's brake pads, rotors, and fluid to make sure you can stop confidently in any condition.

7. Heating and Defroster Performance Check

A working heating system is essential for comfort and safety. We’ll inspect your cabin heater and defroster to ensure you stay warm and keep your windshield clear.
