Safety should always be a priority, especially when it comes to winter season where all drivers are affected but many fail to prepare. Don’t be that guy.

Cold weather is not a good friend of your batteries. Have them checked.
Tire tread and pressure should be checked more often this season especially if it usually snow in your area.
The braking system should always be checked, but it’s more crucial during winter due to slippery roads.
Tune-up should be scheduled before winter completely sets in, if you are already due. The cold weather can easily increase the chance of having problems or worsening the existing ones.
Heaters, defrosters, and wipers should be in good working condition. Generally, wipers should be replaced every six months.
Ensure interior and exterior lights, including fog lights, are working properly. Winter may cause reduced visibility and sufficient lighting is important.
Oil and Filter Change should be done regularly at recommended intervals. Dirty oil is a key contributor to breakdowns during winter. If you live in a very cold area, consider changing oil to match your climate.
