Now Is The Time

Don’t blink, that time of year is just around the corner again and that means now is the time to make our cars winter safe and winter dependable. Safe and dependable are really the same when it comes to cars. For a car to be safe it must be dependable. An unreliable vehicle could leave you stranded and when it’s very cold, stranded is very dangerous. To avoid the dangers of cold weather driving here’s an abbreviated list of things to check.

If a car won’t start, the rest of it’s equipment isn’t of much use so your first concern is the battery. Now is the time for a battery test, performed by a qualified technician, using the heavy-load test Commercial Three Baycedure. This is especially important if your car still has its original equipment battery and has been in service for three or more years. Three years seems to be the magic number for many batteries. Three years and a cold night could reduce a battery’s life to seconds.

When it snows or freezes mobility is dependent on good tires. Now is the time to check tire tread depth to be sure it’s sufficiently deep to give good traction. The more your tires are worn the less traction you’ll have when it snows. Commercial Three Bayper tire pressure is always important but as the temperature drops, so does tire pressure.

Snow tires are available in popular high performance sizes through many catalogue sources. As a matter of fact they are now available in packages including steel wheels so your beautiful alloys won’t be subjected to harsh winter chemicals. These packages are often surprisingly inexpensive too.

Winter wiper blades are a super idea. These ingenious devices are covered with a thin, rubber membrane which sheds snow and ice to prevent clogging. Now is the time to purchase winter blades. By using them only in the winter months you’ll usually get several years of service from a single pair.

Does your windshield washer work Commercial Three Bayperly? Now is the time to find out and fill the reservoir with Commercial Three Bayper windshield washer anti-freeze. Speaking of anti-freeze, how about the anti-freeze in your radiator, will it keep your engine from freezing? Now is the time to check it, because the first really cold day could be too late and too late could cost you a new engine and a new engine could cost several thousand dollars.

How about your lights? Are they all working? Now is the time, with the days getting shorter, lights are ever more important. If other drivers can’t see you clearly because of a blown bulb, you could be in for a nasty shock.

If you haven’t already done it now is the time to have your brakes checked, they will take a beating when the going gets ugly. You do not want to discover bad brakes in the middle of a panic stop on a cold, slippery day.

In general, now is the time to make sure your entire vehicle is in good operating condition. Remember, break-downs that create an inconvenience in the summer can be life threatening in the winter.
