Prepare your car for WINTER!

Breakdowns happen more often during winter time and road conditions become more challenging, especially when it starts snowing. 
Here's what you need to know in order to have a safer and trouble-free driving during winter time:


BATTERY
Lights, heaters and wipers put high demands on the car battery. If your driving is mainly dark rush-hour trips, the battery will give out eventually.Replacing one near the end of its life can save a lot of time and inconvenience at the side of the road.

ANTIFREEZE
Coolant systems that are not in the right proportion will lead to overheating due to freezing. Have the car's coolant system flushed in the fall before the first freeze. You also need to check the system for leaks and install fresh coolant. 


WIPERS
Inspect the windshield wipers and replace them if they are worn or have become hardened. Change the windshield wiper fluid with one that has antifreeze added to it. 

TYRES
Consider changing to winter or all season tyres – these have a higher silica content in the tread which prevents it hardening at lower temperatures, and therefore gives better grip in cold wet conditions.

HEATER
Have it checked and make sure it's working. Not only is it important for you to stay warm, but it also serves to clear the front and rear glass for a good vision.

HEADLIGHTS
It's a non negotiable necessity to have your headlights working all year long. It's a good idea to carry spare bulbs.

IMPORTANT!  Keep an Emergency kit in your car and a First Aid kit in case you have any unexpected incidents.
