Winter is fast approaching and you need to check your car now for any problems.

Cold weather can be tough on your car and winterizing your car now can save you money by improving your vehicle's fuel efficiency, performance and reliability. Many things you can do to help your car make it thru the winter would be to check your antifreeze in your car, change your oil and oil filter, check the battery, check the tire tread and tire pressure, have the brakes checked, inspect your engine's belts and hoses, conduct a visual inspection of your vehicle's lights, prepare a roadside emergency kit and keep the gas tank at least half full to decrease the chances of moisture forming in the gas line.

These checks can help ensure your vehicle is ready for the ice and snow winter brings.
