CDC Winter Related Car Care Preparedness

Don't let this mild stretch of weather fool you Fort Collins!  We're still in the grip of the Winter season. Savvy Coloradoans know, the moment you let your gaurd down, the cold and snow will move in faster than you can say 10-below.  We found some great information from the CDC that will help keep you safe during the remaining Winter months.

The following are steps you can take now to avoid issues on the road when the snow begins to fly once again.  

  • Have your radiator serviced and check the antifreeze level.  Add antifreeze as needed.
  • Replace your windshield wipers fluid with a wintertime mixture.
  • Replace worn tires and check the air pressur in the tires.
  • Keep the gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines.

 

Also.  Be sure to stock up on emergency supplies (communication, food, safety, heating) in case you find yourself stranded in your car during a major Winter storm.  To see the full list of items from the CDC, check out their Winter Preparedness page.
