Winter Weather Preparation - Your Car

Milwaukee -

Winter cold, pot holes and salt can take a big toll on your car.  Here are some recommendations at helping your car make it through the coldest and snowiest Wisconsin weather.


Your Car:

  1. Antifreeze levels - ensure they are sufficient to avoid freezing.
  3. Brakes - check for wear and fluid levels.
  6. Heater and defroster - ensure they work properly.
  7. Lights and flashing hazard lights - check for serviceability.
  9. Thermostat - ensure it works properly.
  10. Windshield wiper equipment - repair any problems and maintain proper washer fluid level.
  12. Travel with a fully charged cell phone.
  13. Have a few blankets and a flashlight in the car.
  14. Have jumper cables in your car.
  15. Dress for the weather - even if it is a short drive.

Hopefully, you never have to use any of these items.  But, knowing they are there and your car is properly serviced, will give you the peace of mind to travel during the winter and help keep you and your family warm, in the event of being stuck on the side of the road.
