6 Maintenance Tips to Prepare Your Car for Winter

When temperatures start to drop, it's time to get your car ready for winter. The right maintenance, preparation and tools can be literal lifesavers in harsh conditions.

The Checklist:

1. Take care of that 60,000-mile tune-up if you're due. 
2. Check, change and/or top off your oil, coolant, brake and transmission fluid as needed. 
3. Take a look at the car's brakes. Are your rotors warped or cracked? Do they have deep grooves or are the pads worn close to their minimum clearance? 
4. Make sure all your lights are working properly to ensure good visibility. New bulbs only cost a few dollars and are easy to install yourself or easy to have installed when getting your vehicle serviced. 
5. The same goes for windshield wipers. If your blades are more than six months old, odds are it's time to swap them out for new ones. 
6. Don't forget to fill the washer fluid reservoir with freeze resistant wiper fluid.
