Winter Car Care Tips for Honda Drivers in Reno and Sparks

Winter Car Care Tips for Honda Drivers in Reno and Sparks

Winter in Northern Nevada can be unpredictable — icy mornings in Reno, slush in Sparks, and weekend drives up to Tahoe all put your vehicle to the test. Keeping your Honda prepared for the season helps ensure reliability, safety, and peace of mind.

At Bill Pearce Courtesy Honda, we’ve put together a few simple but important maintenance tips to help you get the most from your car, SUV, or truck this winter.

1. Check Your Tires and Tread

Your tires are your first line of defense against snow and ice. Before temperatures drop, make sure your tread depth is above 4/32” and your tire pressure matches Honda’s recommended PSI (cold weather can lower tire pressure quickly).

Visit our Honda Tire Center for a free tread inspection or ask about winter-rated all-season tires ideal for Reno’s climate.

2. Test Your Battery

Cold weather reduces battery performance — especially if it’s more than three years old. If your Honda struggles to start in the morning, have your battery tested or replaced before it fails completely.

Our service team performs quick battery health checks and can install a genuine Honda replacement the same day.

3. Keep Fluids Fresh

Winter puts extra strain on your engine, transmission, and braking systems. Check and top off essential fluids like:

- Engine oil

- Antifreeze/coolant

- Windshield washer fluid

- Brake fluid

Honda vehicles are designed to handle extreme temperatures, but staying on top of maintenance makes all the difference.

4. Inspect Your Wiper Blades and Defrosters

Visibility is key in winter driving. Replace wiper blades if they streak or skip, and ensure your defrost and heater systems are blowing hot air.

Stop by our Honda Service Center for a quick winter inspection — no appointment necessary.

5. Schedule a Multi-Point Inspection

Before temperatures drop further, it’s a great time to book a multi-point inspection. Our technicians will review your brakes, suspension, fluids, and more to ensure your Honda is road-ready for the months ahead.

You can schedule service online in minutes and take advantage of our Service Specials for additional savings.
