Top 10 Car Care Tips
For Winter

2.
Protect Your Car’s Paint
Protect your car’s paint from rain, snow, and salt by applying car wax and
polish to your vehicle’s body. This will help protect your car from rain,
falling leaves and debris before the winter weather hits.

3.
Get Your Brakes Checked
If you are up to date with your servicing, getting a brake check can still
be worthwhile. Worn brakes can extend your stopping distance and
increase the risk of crashing on a wet road.

4.
Replace Windscreen Wiper Blades
Damage from the summer heat and sun make wipers less effective at
removing water. This will make it harder to see out your windscreen
in the rain.

5.
Clean Your Windscreen
Don’t wait for someone to write a note in the dust. For maximum winter
visibility, clean all your windows with a chamois or a sheet of
newspaper and methylated spirits.

6.
Check Your Tyres
Tyres do eventually wear out. If the pressure is too low, or tyres are
worn below the legal 1.5mm limit, they’ll have less grip on the road.
Less grip can increase your stopping distance.

7.
Check Your Car Lights
Front and rear please. You’ll use them more in wet weather to see the
road, and also to help other people see you coming.

8.
Watch The Battery
Cold weather can take its toll on car batteries, make sure battery
terminals are clean. And remember – turn off the lights when you turn
off the car.

9.
Change Your Oil And Filters
Dirty oil and winter don’t mix. Change your oil and filters at recommended
intervals. Get your mechanic to check the fuel, air and transmission
filters at the same time.

10.
Garage Your Car
Park your car under cover at night if possible. Avoid parking on the lawn
as damp rising condenses on engine and ignition parts (which can
cause current leakage). Condensation under the bonnet can also
cause rust.

11.
Prepare An Emergency Kit
Prepare an emergency kit and keep it in your car in the event that you
suddenly find yourself stranded. Have your phone ready with you as
well as extra food, water, flashlight, flares, and a first-aid kit.
