Wally Wise Guy's Wise Words of the Week: Make Sure Your Vehicle Is Winter Ready



Before driving this winter check that the brakes, battery, hoses and belts are in good condition. Regularly check your vehicle to make sure that:

  • Fluid levels are full.
  • Wiper blades don't streak. Install winter wiper blades.
  • Heater and defroster are working properly.
  • Radio is working, so you can receive weather updates, road conditions and traffic reports.
  • All lights are working.
  • Tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread. Consider installing snow tires or carry a set of tire chains.
