Essential Winter Vehicle Preparation

St. Louis winters are unpredictable, and proper preparation is crucial for safety and preventing costly repairs.

Key Steps for Winter Car Preparation

Tire Maintenance for Winter

Use winter tires or ensure good tread on current tires. Check pressure and consider rotation.

Battery and Fluids

Cold weather can weaken your battery and thicken your oil. Have your battery tested and change your oil if needed. Also, verify that your antifreeze levels are correct to prevent engine overheating.

Ensuring Brakes and Lights are Winter-Ready

Ensure your brakes are in top condition and your lights are working properly. Visibility is key during the shorter, darker winter days.

Building a Winter Emergency Kit

An emergency kit with essential items is crucial for winter delays.
