When the temperature drops in Manitoba, your vehicle feels it too. From frozen fluids to worn wipers and sluggish batteries, winter weather puts extra strain on every system. That’s why many drivers choose to book a winter service package—a convenient, cost-effective way to prepare for the cold while keeping your vehicle in top condition all season long.

What’s Included in a Winter Service Package?
Winter service packages are designed to bundle the most important cold-weather maintenance items into one appointment. While details can vary by dealership, most include:
- Tire Swap & Inspection: Ensures your winter tires are properly mounted, balanced, and ready for icy roads.
- Battery Test: Cold temperatures reduce battery efficiency—testing helps prevent those dreaded “won’t start” mornings.
- Oil & Filter Change: Fresh oil keeps your engine running smoothly and prevents thickening in freezing weather.
- Fluid Top-Ups: Includes coolant, windshield washer fluid, and brake fluid for reliable performance.
- Heating System Check: Keeps your defrost and cabin heat working efficiently.
- Brake Inspection: Confirms your vehicle can stop safely on slippery surfaces.
Bundling these services saves time, helps you stay on schedule for maintenance, and often comes at a lower cost than booking each individually.
The Benefits of Seasonal Service
In Manitoba, winter service isn’t optional—it’s essential. Here’s why:
- Preventative Maintenance: Addressing small issues now prevents costly repairs later.
- Improved Safety: Proper tires, brakes, and fluids help your vehicle handle icy, snowy conditions.
- Better Performance: A well-maintained vehicle runs smoother, warms up faster, and delivers consistent reliability through the cold.
- Increased Longevity: Regular seasonal service helps extend the lifespan of key components, from your engine to your suspension.
How to Make the Most of Winter Offers
Many dealerships, including Birchwood’s network of service centers, offer limited-time winter specials on tire swaps, multi-point inspections, and other maintenance services. Booking early not only helps you avoid the seasonal rush but can also help you take advantage of exclusive discounts or bundled packages.
You can even finance your winter tires through the MPI Winter Tire Program, available at all Birchwood dealerships, and enjoy one season of free tire storage at most locations when purchasing a new set.
The Bottom Line
Winter service packages take the guesswork out of vehicle maintenance. They’re designed to keep you safe, save you time, and ensure your vehicle is prepared for everything a Manitoba winter brings.
