Winter Car Care and Maintenance
Don’t be left out in the cold! Winter break-downs could leave you stranded on cold, snowy, slippery roads. Before the snow begins to fly, it is a good idea to make sure your car is in good safe working condition. You or your auto repair shop or local mechanic should give your car a thorough inspection and perform any needed vehicle maintenance to head off potential car trouble:
· Check the battery
· Check the brakes
· Check fluids: antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, and oil
· Check the heating and exhaust
· Check tires for tread-wear and proper inflation
For added safety, keep emergency supplies on board in winter months.
· Blankets
· Flares
· A bag of sand for traction
· Shovel
· Windshield scraper and brush or broom
· Tool kit
· Tow rope
· Flashlight with extra batteries
· Jumper cables
· Waterproof matches
· A jar candle
· First aid kit
· Red flag
· Dry clothing
· Snacks
· Gloves
A few minutes of thought and preparation now, will give you peace of mind and keep you on the road arriving safely at your destinations all winter long.
