The cooler weather means it’s time to winterize your car. Depending on where you live, you’ll need to prepare your tires for the snow and ice, make sure you’ve topped off your fluids and get your battery checked.

If any of this baffles you, you can call on the experts at Advance Auto Parts to help you find the items you’ll need to get the job done.
Just as birds know that the days are getting shorter and the food stores are getting leaner, you’ve got to know that it’s time to prepare your vehicle for any emergency that might leave you trapped in your car for an extended amount of time. We all watched as the news broadcast footage of motorists trapped by flood waters, downed trees or mudslides that blocked roads for hours during hurricane season this year. And we marvelled at the size of sinkholes in road and highways that swallowed up cars. Experts warn that we all should be ready in the event something similar happens to us.

If you’re planning to go over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving, be sure to check your tire pressure if travelling by car.
