WINTER IS COMING!!!!!

Winter and cold weather is right around the corner! Be sure to get the usual items checked on your vehicle. Things like, battery condition; maybe go to your repair shop and get it cleaned up and a load check done, fresh oil in the engine always helps, maybe a draw test on the starter to see if it's drawing to many amps, spark plugs replaced per manufacture recommendations, anti freeze level,protection and condition, how about the fuel filter,ever change it? These are all things that will make life easier for you if they are in good condition. A few areas that you may not think about; that tire that goes down slowly will go down faster in the cold, maybe get it checked out before it goes flat in the cold. Aluminum wheels are known for getting corrosion build up between the rim and tire and actually lifting the tire off the sealing surface and letting air leak out slowly. The fix is cleaning off the corrosion. Check the air in the spare tire before it's needed. Performing a transmission flush can help the tranmission during the cold monthes. Safety items like your lights (it's dark along time now), wiper blades, and windsheild washers all can come into play during these cold monthes.     If you got any concerns drop a line I'll get back to you.
