As temperatures drop in Whatcom County, winter conditions begin to put added strain on every system in your vehicle. Cold mornings, wet roads, and holiday travel all increase the chances of unexpected issues. A Winter Bumper to Bumper Service Inspection is one of the best ways to prepare.
At Bellingham Automotive, our winter inspection is designed to give you confidence, safety, and clarity heading into the coldest months of the year.
Why a Winter Inspection Matters
Cold weather affects your vehicle in several ways. Fluids thicken, batteries lose power, belts and hoses become more brittle, and tires can lose pressure overnight. Winter driving also brings limited daylight, increased moisture, and slick road surfaces.
A preventative inspection helps identify small concerns early, reduces the likelihood of a breakdown, and ensures that your vehicle can handle winter conditions with reliability.

Our seasonal service special is available for $159.99 and includes a full lube, oil, and filter service along with an extensive inspection of your vehicle.
