Is your car ready to drive in THIS yet?  OK, so we only had flurries this morning, but it's a great wake up call to get your car ready for the winter that will be here soon!  Don't get stranded in a ditch somewhere, when you can follow these simple steps to make sure your vehicle won't let you down!

  • If you're due for a tune up, get it done BEFORE winter hits!
  • Check that battery!  Have it charged, or better yet, if you can't remember how long you've had it....replace it!
  • Flush and change the anti-freeze.  This should be done every 2 years.
  • Make sure your heater and defrost are in working order.  And change those wiper blades!
  • Check tire tread depth, and tire pressure.
  • Get your brakes checked.  Important for stopping on snow and ice, yes?
  • Make sure all interior and exterior lights are in working order.

Winter weather will be here to stay soon, so make sure you and your car are ready!  And don't foget to pack that winter survival kit in your car too!  Stay safe!
