MAKE SURE YOU’RE READY TO DRIVE SAFELY THIS WINTER AROUND CHICAGO

Winter isn’t just coming, winter is here. With temperatures dipping and the snow coming down, it’s important to make sure both you and your car are prepared for the changing weather. On your end, that mostly means adjusting your driving style to realities of the weather. Your car on the other hand? It might need a few things.

When winter arrives there’s a few things you’ll want to do to make sure your car is ready to go:

• Get your car inspected. When minor issues meet cold conditions, they can quickly become big problems. A winter inspection can help you isolate issues and give you a chance to fix them. Being proactive is one of the best ways to keep your car in good shape during the cold months.
• Replace your fluids. When the temperatures dip, the fluids in your car often don’t work as well as they did during the warmer seasons. Your oil, for instance, can thicken and become less effective. Get your fluids checked by a professional and replace the ones that aren’t suited for winter.
• Get winter tires. No matter what kind of roads you’re driving on in the Chicago area, a good set of winter tires can be a life saver. Snow and ice can make the road too slippery for your spring tires to handle. With winter tires, however, you’ll gain extra traction and be better equipped to handle cold-season road conditions.
