What is Cold Weather Car Maintenance?



Imagine this, you are on your way to work, as the snow is starting to come down you notice that your car is starting to slow down. Suddenly it comes to a stop and now your car is broken down, on your way to work and in the snow. This is the worst case scenario, so how do we make sure that this doesn’t happen?


We must take a few steps to maintaining your car in the Winter Months:


  1. Test Your Car's Battery

    1. This is the easiest part, and first thing that you should check during the winter. Make sure that it is in good condition and does not have any signs that it is dying. In cold weather, your battery loses some of its strength.

  2. Check Your Tires

    1. Cold weather affects your tire pressure. Your system may light up as the cold weather starts pouring in. Make sure that your tires are full of air and ready to go!!

  3. Check your Car’s Fluids

    1. Make sure to check your oil and all other car fluid levels

  4. Consider the Winter Precautions

    1. Mother Nature can throw a lot at you, and making sure that your car is prepared is sometimes not enough. There are a few things that should be readily available in your car at all times.

      1. Cell Phone and Charger

      2. Jumper Cables and Flares

      3. Ice Scraper and Shovel

      4. Blanket and coat

      5. Antifreeze and a bag of Sand for Ice Traction
