Winter weather can be tough on your vehicle, but with some preparation and care, you can keep your car running smoothly and safely all season. Here at Dallas Collision Center, we want to ensure your vehicle is ready to handle the cold temperatures, icy roads, and winter storms.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Check your tire pressure regularly, as cold weather causes air pressure to drop. Ensure your tires are properly inflated for the best traction on slippery roads.
- Keep your gas tank half full during the winter. This helps prevent your fuel line from freezing and provides extra weight for better traction.
- Have your battery tested to ensure it can handle the cold. Replace it if needed to avoid getting stranded.
- Keep an emergency kit in your car with items like a blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, ice scraper, and snacks in case you get stuck.
