Winter Car Tips and Tricks
Winter is a tough time of year where vehicles are concerned. Iced windshields, frozen locks, and getting stuck in mud and snow are all too common winter automotive realities. Follow these simple tips and tricks to make winter driving life a little easier.
Warming Up:
A good general rule to start with - always warm up your car or truck before you go driving in the winter. Revving a cold engine causes additional wear, and a warm car with cleared windows is much more safe and comfortable to get into.
Windows:
Ice covered windows are not only a pain, they are unsafe. Prevent ice from covering your windshields during a storm with these tricks. Put a large, flattened piece of cardboard or the floor mats from your car over the windshield, securing them under the wipers when parking during a storm. When it’s time to leave again, gently crack the wipers free and remove the covering; your windshield will be clear and ice-free, without any scraping. Large garbage bags taped together and laid across the windshield, closed in the doors, protects from ice build ups, too.
Frozen Locks:
Eventually, a frozen set of locks hits everyone. Small cans of lock deicer are sold commercially, but these tricks work as well.
Of course, your best bet is prevention, and here’s a simple tip: when you lock the car, cover the locks with thin magnet strips. Remove them when you return for frost-free locks, ready to go.
Getting Stuck:
We may not like to admit it, but getting stuck in winter ice and snow happens to most of us eventually. Having something to put down for traction can usually get you out if gently rocking the car doesn’t work. For a backup, keep a couple of asphalt roof shingles in your trunk. Other emergency traction suggestions: carry coffee cans filled with salt and sand, boards, a sheet of canvas, or an old rubber bathmat cut in half lengthwise. In a pinch you can use tree branches or your interior floor mats for traction, too.
Make an emergency kit and put together extra lock deicer, washer fluid, jumper cables, cones, markers or flairs, and carry a blanket, snack foods, and water just in case you get stuck somewhere for a while.
It should probably go without saying, but having your vehicle checked ahead of time can prevent many winter driving problems. Bring your car to us to check all your fluids, wires, and plugs, including washer fluid and very importantly, the radiator’s antifreeze. Check tires for traction and proper inflation.
Use these handy hints to make your winter driving life a little easier, and be prepared for the inevitable unexpected winter obstacles.
