    Officer Escapes Injury After Cruiser Hit

Prepare your car now for winter driving.

October 20, 2014 / Oklahoma Towing / News

As summer gives way to fall, it’s the best time to take a look under the hood of your car (and other places as well) to prepare for winter.

Extremes in temperature are the busiest times for wrecker services.  10 degree mornings can be just as taxing on your car as 100 degree scorchers.  Why?

I know it’s hard to think about this now, while the weather is so beautiful, but very cold iron and aluminum contracts.  Tolerances get tighter inside your engine.  The viscosity of oil increases and resists flowing to where it’s needed.  Unprotected coolant can freeze and cause your engine to crack.

Whether you’re a do-it-yourself type, or you are a regular at your neighborhood mechanic’s garage, you are responsible for ensuring that your car is ready for winter.  Here are ten things you must do to prepare your car now for winter driving, from a list at howstuffworks.com.  Personally, I’d have made check your battery the number one item.  The vast majority of our service calls in cold winter weather are for a dead battery.

Please do yourself and your family a favor and ensure these things are checked, for your safety and convenience.

Tip 10: Keep an Emergency Kit Inside Your Car

Tip 9: Make Sure Your 4-Wheel Drive Works

Tip 8: Check Your Car’s Belts and Hoses

Tip 7: Replace Windshield Wipers and Wiper Fluid

Tip 6: Check Your Defrosting and Heating Units

Tip 5: Keep Your Fuel Tank Full

Tip 4: Put in the Right Amount of Antifreeze

Tip 3: Check Your Oil and Oil Viscosity

Tip 2: Check Your Battery

Tip 1: Check Your Tire Pressure and Consider Snow Tires

One that isn’t on the list, is to save our number in your phone.  Think of the peace of mind you’ll have knowing that you have someone who will help you!  Even if you’re in another part of the country, we will happily search and find the best provider for your location and situation.
