Whether you love or hate winter, there’s no denying that it is on the horizon. Connecticut winters have a reputation for being unpredictable. As such, it’s important to make sure you have all the tools you need to stay safe on the road. Winterizing your vehicle can help make your driving experience safer. It can also help ensure your Audi model’s continued durability on the road.
There are a few simple things you can do to winterize your car. Our service team would be happy to help with any of them. They can also answer your questions and assist you with the servicing process.
So what are a few ways to winterize your car?
- Get Snow Tires: It may seem simple, but this can help immensely. Snow tires are designed with a special kind of rubber. This rubber remains flexible in cold temperatures, while other rubber types harden. Snow tires also have hundreds of slits, which help grip and gain traction on ice and snow.
- Get Heavy Duty Wipers: While your usual windshield wipers may be fine for a summer storm, you’ll need to upgrade for winter. Heavy duty wipers are designed to handle the weight and stress of ice and snow.
- Get Your Battery Checked: The last thing you want is to wake up one morning to a dead battery. Or, worse, to wind up on the side of the road because of one. Getting your battery checked can give you an idea of how much life it has left.
- Prepare An Emergency Kit: It’s always better to be safe rather than sorry. Preparing an emergency kit can help you in a tight spot. Pack it with jumper cables, a phone charger, a first aid kit, blankets, water, and other essential items.
