Get Winter Weather Ready With A Few Tips

Getting ready for winter weather seems like a simple task, but to be really prepared takes a lot more time than you would think.

During the winter months in St. Louis, there are a lot of weather changes, and hazards including; precipitation, snow, ice and sub-freezing temperatures. All of these can affect your vehicle and you in many different ways.

Before you start tackling winter roads make sure your vehicle is prepared for whatever may come your way, even the unexpected.

Top Tips For Getting Winter Ready

1. Get your battery checked, charged (if needed) and most importantly get your electrical system tested.
2. A brake check should be done just about every season for vehicles with older drum braking systems on the rear, and disc brakes systems just need to be inspected. 
3. Tires should be checked for cracks and wear. Having a tire blowout while stuck in the snow or cold is dangerous in many ways. If you live in an area that gets temperatures lower than -7 degrees, you should probably look into buying snow tires. 
4. Check your exhaust system for leaks, an exhaust leak increases your  risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. 
5. Have your mechanic test your anti-freeze to make sure that it is rated for the coldest temperatures. 
6. It's a a good idea to replace your windshield wipers every year before winter begins or purchase winter rated windshield wipers. They tend to hold up a little better during the colder temperatures and usually have a guard that keeps them from freezing to the windshield on those cold mornings.

Your local GM Certified Service Dealer can perform these inspections for you and recommend any other necessary service work.
