WINTERIZING YOUR VEHICLE IN SAN RAMON

When the winter months come around, it can mean more accidents due to snow, ice and a decrease of sunlight. There are many ways that you can make your time on the roads safer and more stress-free by winterizing your vehicle. A few ways you can keep your car safe during the holiday season is to go for regular winter auto repair and winter car maintenance. Winterize your car further by looking into fluid refills, tire service, tire alignment, as well as battery maintenance and replacement.

WINTER CAR CARE TIPS

The harsh winter months can be challenging for your car. Make sure you are properly winterizing your car by checking off the following:

• Ensure you have the correct antifreeze mixture.
• If temperatures drop below freezing, you might be better off switching from oil to thinner.
• Get a freeze-resistant wiper fluid.
• Inspect and/or replace your tires.
• If you live in a place that sees lots of snow, consider snow tires.
• Keep your battery in good shape.
