Winters can be rough in Boston, from below freezing temperatures to snow and ice storms
. Before the roads get covered in snow or ice, Boston Nissan reminds you to take precautions now and winterize the car for the upcoming cold months. Properly preparing your car for winter helps keep you safer even when the snow falls.
Antifreeze make sure the antifreeze in your car is the right kind for the freezing temperatures Boston is known for in the winter months.
Snow tires you can bring your car into our Boston Nissan dealer for service and have snow tires put on your car. Even if your car has "all-weather" tires, you might consider the extra benefit of having snow tires put on for the winter.
Ice Scraper keep an ice scraper in the car so you're prepared if you return to your car to find it under a sheet of ice.
De-Icer for Locks and Windshield sometimes your ice scraper needs a little help removing an inch or more of ice! Get a spray de-icer and you can use it to unfreeze your car door locks and help chip away the ice from your windshield.
Replace Windshield Wipers just before winter is a good time to replace your Nissan's windshield wipers. Having good wipers will help you push snow and ice and slush off your windshield when driving on snow covered roads in a storm.
Emergency Supplies It's also a good idea to keep a blanket in the trunk, and an extra pair of gloves and socks in case you break down and need the added protection from the cold temperatures.
