Are You & Your Vehicle WINTER READY??

Winter Tips From Bucks Roadside Assistance

I can probably put a pretty penny on it that your vehicle is NOT ready for the winter, in two ways!! When I say WINTER ready, I mean are your tires properly inflated to the right PSI (pounds per square inch)? Including your spare? Is your battery good or is it time for a new one? Are the battery terminals clean and making a solid connection? How old is your anti-freeze? Is it low? These are the maintenance questions you should ask yourself before winter gets a hold on you! But here are another set of questions. Are YOU ready for winter? Do you keep a shovel in your vehicle? Maybe a blanket? I bet you are shaking your head NO... Well here are a few items you should keep in your vehicle, winter time or not! 

  • Gloves: Latex or Vinyl for health reasons and winter gloves to keep warm.
  • Blanket & Spare Clothes: Just in case you get stuck somewhere, keep warm.
  • Sand/Kitty Litter: Used to dry vehicle fluids and used for traction in snow/ice.
  • Shovel: To move snow, kitty litter or sand when needed.
  • First Aid Kit & Fire Extinguisher: For safety reasons
  • Flashlights & Batteries: Never know when the car battery will die and need light.
  • Bottled Water & Small Snacks: To keep hydrated and keep from being hungry.
  • Jumpbox/Cables: Just in case you need a jump start.

Things happen in the most inconvienient of times, so always be prepared.
