Change Your Oil

Regular maintenance of your MINI can help to prevent any car troubles during winter driving. Cold weather tends to thicken the oil and reduce its ability to circulate through the engine, so make sure that you have fresh oil to keep your car running smoothly.

Oil changes with us are easy. With Patrick Direct, we offer online appointment scheduling and MINI loaners while your car is being serviced.

Check Your Battery

To avoid a dead car battery on a cold morning, bring your MINI to our team of certified MINI Mechanics to see if your battery is healthy. As a certified MINI dealer, we specialize in vehicle inspections.

Replace Windshield Wipers

Winter-specific wipers are much more sturdy and designed to sweep away snow, ice, hail, and rain during inclement weather.

Signs your MINI Windshield Wipers need to be replaced:

1. The rubber on the blades is cracked or failing
2. Your wipers are leaving streaks on your windshield
3. You’re hearing too much squeaking and chattering
4. The frame of the blade is bent or damaged
5. The rubber adhesive is failing, and the blades aren’t making consistent contact with your windshield
