Winter Car Care

Although we're just now officially in proper autumn, the seasonal changes in our area have left summer and comfortable weather in the dust.

With high winds, heavy rains, slick roads, construction, and a number of other potentially-lethal obstacles, it's incredibly important to have one's car in good mechanical shape.

Many mechanics and shops offer multi-point checkups or winter prep checkups to make sure your car is ready to handle whatever the weather and seasonal change will bring. These check ups can range from $25-$95 depending on the year and make of your car, and the type of shop you're going to.

Make sure you keep an energy bar or two in the glove compartment, a blanket, jumper cables, key de-icer, snow remover, and any other useful tools and equipment you'll need in your car.

Safe travels!
