Start the Season With a Tune-up

Cold weather causes engine oil to thicken. It can also impact your tire pressure and your battery's health. Starting the season with tune-up service is the best way to ensure that your vehicle can capably handle the challenges ahead.

Go Slow and Stay Vigilant

Winter is the worst time for speeding and distracted driving. Stopping distances are significantly increased when the roads are covered in frozen precipitation. Going slow will also limit your risk of running into dangerous patches of black ice while traveling at high speeds.

Gear Up for Emergencies

Be ready for the unexpected. If your vehicle stalls, won't start up, or is involved in a crash, you could be waiting for hours before help arrives. Keep plenty of warm blankets and outerwear in your car along with road flares, bottled water, a first aid kit, and a few non-perishable food items.
