Winter Car Care Tips

WINTER VEHICLE CARE TIPS FROM BELL AUTOMOTIVE:

•The cold weather is hard on your battery, so be sure to have yours tested.
•Change your windshield wiper blades if it has been more than 6 months since your last change.
•Consider special snow tires to avoid slick slippage along snowy passages.
•Have your front and rear brakes checked, as faulty brakes is a major cause of many winter accidents.
•Even if you have no place to go for days at a time, be sure to start the engine and let it run a few minutes.
•Do not let your gas levels dip below a quarter tank, as some gases containing additives may freeze.
•Keep your tires inflated, since every 10 degree drop in temperature causes a pound of pressure to escape.
