It may not be winter yet, but you can bet you will start to notice in the coming weeks. Now is the time to consider getting ready for the change in season. From your windshield to your tires, there are plenty of steps to take to protect yourself from Mother Nature this winter. Colonial Ford in Danbury has several tips to keep you safe on the road when the snow starts to fall.
Are Winter Tires a Must?
One of the easiest things to do to stay on the road from Brookfield to New Milford is by changing out your tires. Switching out the tires you've been using all summer and let the tire experts at Colonial Ford take care of you. They will know which tires fit your car best and can handle your driving conditions.
But how important are winter tires, anyway? Well, in Connecticut, they are quite important. If you don't plan on getting your car out in the snow and ice this winter, you don't have to worry about the danger that comes with the potentially treacherous conditions once the snow starts to fall. The tires you have now, likely won't hold up in icy conditions.
Winter tires give your car, truck, or SUV the ability to grab the road with confidence and give you better control when confronted by hazardous conditions. They are specifically designed to handle the exact conditions you will find in a Newtown winter. Protect yourself from, not only Jack Frost but from other drivers, by giving yourself every advantage on the road.
Winterize Your Vehicle at Colonial Ford
There is more to protecting your car from the elements than just changing your tires. From the inside-out, there is much to do to get ready. It may not be something you think of immediately, but your windshield wipers could put you at risk this winter. Cracked or broken wipers can limit your visibility by sliding snow and ice across your windshield instead of wiping it away. Refill your washer fluid with a brand that can withstand the Monroe winter.
From your oil to your antifreeze, switching out your fluids to more seasonal-appropriate variations goes far to protect your car. Change out your oil for a thinner viscosity to properly lubricate your engine. Checking your anti-freeze mixture to ensure you have enough to prevent the coolant in your radiator from freezing.
