A little preparation can go a long way to ensure a successful winter driving season throughout Centereach and the surrounding areas.
Schedule Winter Readiness Services
Your engine can find cold morning startups challenging. If your antifreeze is old or your battery fails, you might find yourself waiting for a jumpstart or a mechanic to sort things out. A winter engine inspection will include a test of your battery to ensure it can reliably produce a charge, even on the coldest mornings around Smithtown. Our certified technicians will also check and top off all your fluids. We'll look for signs of trouble among your belts, hoses, gaskets, and wires. If your heater isn't producing hot air, now is the perfect time to get that inspected and repaired.
No matter how well Farmingville streets are plowed, you still want tires with grip for winter driving. Many all-season tires manage reasonably well in normal snow conditions, but for superior traction, snow tires offer an aggressive tread that will cut through snow to maintain contact with the pavement. You can have a set of snow tires installed or have your technician rotate and inspect your current set to ensure no weak areas could cause a flat.
Winter Driving Emergency Kit
With proper winter preparation, you'll reduce the likelihood of breaking down on a Coram, New York road, but there's always the possibility of the unexpected happening. Winter driving preparation should include adding a seasonal emergency kit to your trunk. If you've already got a roadside emergency kit, you can customize it for the cold by adding a warm hat, gloves, a thick blanket, a folding shovel, extra batteries and a flashlight, snacks, and a tire inflator.
Other handy items can include a book or card game for passing the time while waiting for assistance. A battery-powered phone charger and some road salt or kitty litter to throw under your wheels for traction if you get stuck somewhere slippery are also smart additions.
