With winter upon us, now is the time to prepare for the colder weather if you still need to do so. Colder temperatures can have several effects on your vehicle, and without proper preparations you can find yourself in a sticky situation when the snow and ice arrive. Below are some tips and tricks to stay on top of the cold and ensure you are never caught off guard.
Tips and Tricks
Inspect Your Car: The first thing you should do is give your vehicle a once-over. Inspect areas like the battery, brakes, fluid levels, and more. We suggest you bring your vehicle in to have one of our professional team members look at it as well.
Get Snow Tires: The winter months naturally bring snow, and what better way to tackle snow and ice than with snow tires? Our service team can help you pick out the right tires for your vehicle.
Put an Emergency Kit in Your Car: Snowstorms are always a possibility, so packing an emergency kit in your vehicle is a good move. Yet, even if there is no snowstorm, an emergency kit can keep you ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
Ensure Your Heater is Working: One of your most important features during the winter is your vehicle's heater. If your heater isn't working, bring it to our service center as soon as possible. Your heater can help you remain warm and come in handy if you find yourself stuck in a storm.
