Is Your Vehicle Winter Ready?

With cold temperatures here, is your vehicle ready for the winter? The cold can zap the power from batteries, worn tires offer no help on slick roads, and engines undergo more stress starting in the cold. Here are a few things you can do to keep your vehicle running smoothly this winter.

Inspect Your Tires

Checking your tires can easily be done with a penny. Placing a penny down in a tread groove should cover at least some of Lincoln’s head. If not, you may need to replace your tires soon. Tires should also be free of cracking or any bulges.

A Powerful Battery

As car batteries age, they lose their ability to produce power. Cold weather can expedite that process, robbing your vehicle of more power when starting. A quick check ensures you have the necessary volts and amps to start.

Wiper Blades

Worn wipers can struggle to clear snow from your windshield. A fresh set can help keep your vision clear.
