Many drivers are concerned about the well-being of their vehicles during winter and for good reason. Dropping temperatures can damage certain components within your car. However, with proper maintenance, you will be able to drive around with zero problems.

Take Your car to a Professional Shop
Numerous parts need to be inspected annually in order to be sure that they are still holding up. The best way to check on all these parts is to take your car to a service shop. A professional mechanic will take the time necessary to look everything over. If you require any replacement parts, then you will be told right then and there. Doing it right before winter hits is a good time to take care of this so that your car is ready for when it really gets freezing.

Make Sure You Pack an Emergency Kit
Even if everything inside your car is fine, you never know what is going to happen outside. You might end up in the middle of a snowstorm and are unable to go anywhere. Therefore, you want to have an emergency kit in your car at all times. This kit should include:

• Flares
• Small shovel
• Flashlight
• Gloves
• Tire chains
• Boots

A little prevention never hurt anyone. Get your car checked out by calling Neuhaus Service, Inc. at (415) 459-0650.
