Get Your Vehicle Ready for Winter

With the changing seasons, winter will be here before you know it. Whether you enjoy the cold weather and snowy season or you aren't looking forward to frigid temps and deep snow, you'll still need to prepare your vehicle before the winter arrives.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter

Here in Pennsylvania and the Delaware Valley, it's necessary to make sure that your car, truck, SUV, or van is prepared for the winter season and everything that comes along with it. From snow and ice to slush and cold temperatures, there's plenty that needs to be done to your vehicle to have it ready for winter driving. Some of these winter service recommendations include:

• Routine Maintenance – You'll want to make sure your car is up-to-date on all of its regular maintenance needs. These include brake inspections, oil changes, multi-point inspections, battery checks, and more. This will give you a good head start on your winter service requirements.
• Winter Tire Changes – Winter tires are designed specifically for winter weather driving. Now is the perfect time to switch your summers or all seasons over to winter tires, ensuring you have better traction no matter what type of weather comes your way.
• Climate Control Check – Driving in the winter without heat is not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. Make sure that your car's defrost system, heating system, and back window defrost system are working correctly before the temps get too low.
• Emergency Winter Car Kit – While it's important to have an emergency kit in your vehicle at all times, especially when winter has come upon us. Make sure to keep the emergency essentials (car repair kit, first aid kit, water, nonperishable food, flares, etc.) as well as winter emergency essentials (blankets, a shovel, kitty litter or sand, etc.) in the back of your vehicle.
