winter

 

The winter weather means that you will want to be prepared when you drive. Part of this means to make sure that the vehicle is properly maintained. We can help you to figure out when regular maintenance inspections should be done for the vehicle. Doing so will help improve the efficiency and also the performance of it as well. Also be aware of any issues that your vehicle might have. Any strange or odd noises that your vehicle makes should be a reason to worry about an issue. It is always best if you bring the vehicle in, and we can inspect it for you. If the issue is caught soon enough, then there will be less of a cost when it is fixed. The longer you let the issue go on for, the more expensive it might be.

Winter and Tires

Also remember to check the overall condition of the tires for your vehicle. They should be in proper condition, and free of any damage. If you see a puncture mark, make sure to have it inspected by us. We should patch and repair it before it becomes a larger issue. It may also be dangerous if you drive on a tire that is damaged or in poor condition. It will also be beneficial to check the air pressure in each tire for your vehicle. This should also include the spare tire.

Winter survival kit

The vehicle you are driving may also benefit from having a winter survival kit in it. This is very beneficial, especially if you go in the ditch. There may be an instance where you will not be able to be pulled out of the ditch for a few hours. Having a kit can be helpful to make sure you have some bottled water, granola bar, other non perishable foods, and some flares as well. You will also want to have a blanket or two in the vehicle as well.
