Prepare Your Car for the Cold: Essential Tips
As the frost begins to settle, it's time to ensure your vehicle is ready for the colder months ahead. Winter can be a particularly hazardous time for car breakdowns, so here are some vital car care tips from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
Essential Maintenance Tips
1. Review Your Manual: Start with a basic review of your owner's manual and adhere to the recommended service intervals.
2. Wipers and Lights: Replace any worn wiper blades and keep washer fluid stocked. Ensure all lights and bulbs are functional.
3. Professional Help: If you’re not a DIY enthusiast, seek out a repair shop with courteous staff and ASE-certified technicians.
4. Tire Care: Consider replacing worn tires with all-season or snow tires. Don’t forget to check your spare tire and jack, and have any alignment issues corrected.
5. Engine Performance: Address any engine issues like rough idling or poor acceleration before winter arrives.
6. Battery and Radiator Check: Have a qualified technician inspect your battery, cables, radiator, hoses, and belts.
7. Heating and Exhaust Systems: Ensure your heater and defroster are working well, and check the exhaust system for leaks, which can be dangerous in closed vehicles.
8. Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit with flares, boots, gloves, ice scrapers, high-energy snacks, a blanket, shovel, flashlight, tire chains, basic tools, and a cell phone.
