Winter Maintenance Checklist for Drivers in Woodstock, VA


Winter driving in the Shenandoah Valley brings cold temperatures, icy mornings, and occasional snow—making it essential to follow a reliable winter maintenance checklist. At Criswell Ford in Woodstock, VA, we help drivers prepare their vehicles for winter conditions so they can stay safe, confident, and comfortable on the road all season long.

Cold weather can impact critical vehicle components, including your battery, tires, brakes, and fluids. A thorough winter vehicle check should include testing battery strength, inspecting tire tread and pressure, checking antifreeze levels, and ensuring your brakes and heating system are working properly. Visibility is just as important during winter months, so replacing worn windshield wipers and confirming that headlights, taillights, and defrosters are functioning correctly can make a big difference in challenging conditions.

If your current vehicle isn’t handling winter driving as well as it should, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Many Ford vehicles offer winter-friendly features such as available all-wheel or four-wheel drive, advanced traction control, heated seating, and driver-assist safety technology. Below, you can explore our available inventory at Criswell Ford in Woodstock, VA to find trucks, SUVs, and cars designed to help you take on winter with confidence.
