Here is a list of things to consider when getting your vehicle ready for the winter weather:
- Have all fluids topped off - anti-freeze, washer and power steering.
- Check the battery
- Replace windshield wiper blades
- Check your tires - air pressure and rotate if necessary
- Check all lights - head and brake lights, turn signals and fog lamps. Be sure all bulbs and fuses are working

- Winter is also a good time for a tune up.
- Carry an emergency kit inside the car
- Jumper cables
