If your car could talk, it would tell you it doesn’t enjoy the cold weather, either. Check these maintenance items off your to-do list before the temperatures drop.

TIRES – Give them a once-over for wear and tire pressure (they can lose pressure in the cold). If you’ll need snow tires, now’s a good time to get them.
WIPERS – Hard or worn wipers are a danger in bad weather. Think they can handle the snow/hail/road salt/miscellaneous debris they’ll soon be facing? If not, replace them.
FLUIDS – Top up your windshield washer fluid and flush and refill your car’s coolant system.
BATTERY – Check that your car’s electrical system is properly charged. The last thing you want in the dead of winter is a dead battery.
HEATING – Make sure your heating system and window defroster are working properly. You’ll thank us when the mercury drops.
If you live in a cold climate, remember to put the ice scraper, floor mats and the rest of your winter supplies back in the car.
