If your car or truck break’s down this Winter, chances are pretty good you’ll end up getting help from someone close by or if you have a favourite repair shop you can get towed there.
That’s right, towing and car repairs can get you back on the road again but it will cost you.
Preventative maintenance is the key to helping you keep costs down and building a relationship with your Mechanic really pays off in the end.
It helps to find a shop that will arrange both the towing and repairs for you for convenience and faster in-out service.
TIPS FOR BEST WINTER DRIVING PERFORMANCE
Tip #1 Check your battery Old batteries that don’t hold a proper charge can be hard on other engine components as a result of low boost to ignition-sparking power. Replace you battery if its getting old.
Tip #2 Use a block heater Your engine needs greater battery power when the outside temperature drops. A block heater can help start your car on cold Winter mornings.
Tip #3 30 second warm up That’s all you need and your ready to go! Besides allowing your vehicle this warm up time, by not idling too long we can all minimize green house gas emissions and save on fuel costs.
