Winter Weather Car Care

Preparing your vehicle for freezing temperatures

Ontarians can handle cold weather and low temperatures. This is nothing new. In fact...this winter started out fairly tame but when January hit it was pretty obvious that Mother Nature had bigger plans.With sub-zero temperatures like we’ve been experiencing over the past few weeks, motorists are starting to see the weather affect their vehicles.

Cars need special care and attention throughout the winter and we want to provide you with a few tips to ensure safety and comfort when driving in these conditions.

It is always vital to keep items in your car that will be useful in case of emergency. Check out our list below

Emergency Car Kit

• Blankets
• Ice scraper
• Extra clothes
• Extra windshield wiper fluid
• Flashlight
• Matches
• Water
• First aid kit
• Hand warmers
• Hat and gloves
• Booster cables
• bag of salt, sand, or kitty litter

TIPS:

• Wear as many layers of clothing as possible and pack an extra pair of warm clothes whenever leaving the house
• Keep your gas tank at least half full so that the gas lines don’t freeze
• Check vehicles heating and defrost system and make sure it's working 
• Fill tires with air. For every 10 degrees the temperature drops, tires can lose 1 lb. of pressure per square inch
• Replace wiper blades if they are cracked, worn or misshaped
• Make sure you have plenty of fluids including windshield wiper fluid, antifreeze and oil
• Check that your battery isn’t older than it’s recommended life span

If the cold weather has taken a toll on your vehicle you can call our service department at (705) 526-0193 and we'll be happy to get you all fixed up!
