Winter is the most dangerous time to drive due to harsh temperatures, precipitation, unpredictability of temperature changes. Safety on the road starts with a clean car. That’s why it’s important to know how to prepare your car for winter before the season starts. Before the first snow or slush, follow these 8 tips.

1. It is especially important to get winter tires as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the last minute to buy winter tires.
2. Make sure your car has had a recent oil change and fluid level check.
3. Test the battery to make sure it can charge. Remove any corrosion from the battery.
4. Have the technician check the coolant. If necessary, change the coolant before the start of the winter season.
5. Have a mechanic check your car’s belts and hoses as part of your general inspection.
6. Replace wiper blades. It is also important to ensure that the wiper fluid is frost-resistant. It’s a good idea to have extra wiper fluid in your car.
7. Check the tire pressure. Remember that cold weather can be the reason why the tires may be slightly deflated.
8. Try to keep your fuel tank full. A full tank can help prevent frozen fuel lines.
