Efficient Ways Of Wintering Your Car - Winter Safety Checklist

Frost, chills, snow, and wind accompany winters making your car performance take a serious nose-dive if you do not properly winterize your car

. However, according to the press release by the ASE and the experts at AAA, if you take the initiative to ensure that you have a winterization check done on your automobile, your car could remain healthy and happy all winter. Here are a few items to consider ahead of time when having us perform a safety inspection before winter hits.

Winter Tires for Effective Performance on Snowy Patches

While experts have been toying with the idea of introducing wide tires and better tread distances for more efficiency on dry and frozen roads, you can make sure your tires are inspected well in advance with proper tread gauges to ensure they do not disengage or break down. If you live in snowy areas, you might want to try snow tires, or their equivalent, 'all weather tires'. Along with tires, you should also have your brakes checked and their compatibility with the tires, steering systems that ensure proper maneuvering on the roads, and whether the rubber in your tires is sturdy to last all winter without cracking or getting deflated. Tire pressures are also an important concern.

Checking Your Windshield Wipers Before Winter

Windshield wipers have to bear the brunt of snow, frost, precipitation, and other problems with respect to winter temperatures. As such, the slope of the windshield is also assuming varying patterns thanks to the streamlining of car structures to achieve faster speeds. Thus, ensure that your windshield wiper components are durable and last throughout winter without failure. Another concern when it comes to windshield wipers is that the wiper fluid is frozen all the time. Of course, you can get it back to normal with springs and lever pushes, but doing that every day is an excruciating task. Instead, we urge you to opt for the windshield wiper fluids specially designed to spray fluid on the windshield even in minus temperatures without being frozen in the process.

Ensure Your Batteries And Electrical Systems Are Winterized Thoroughly

Electrical systems are also known to perform poorly in winter courtesy the low temperatures and the intense problems that snow precipitation offers them. It's a good idea to have your battery checked for an adequate amount of cranking amperage. The electrical system of your automobile must be optimized to function with efficiency even when the temperatures are low. Whether it is the actuator linkages, the alternator outputs, or the battery lights, ask one of our mechanics to carry out a thorough test on all of them. We also recommend a winter safety kit to be included in the car, for possible use during the event of a snow blockage or stoppage on the road. Do not let winters harm your car, and follow the general maintenance car checks to make the most of the chillness in your car.
