TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - When it comes to your car during the winter months winterizing your vehicle can protect it from damage and you from being left out in the cold.
With the unseasonably cold weather in our area it is a good time to winterize your vehicle.
Experts said check your battery. Make sure it has a good charge and that the tops are clean and connections are tight.
Cold can make tires lose pressure and low tire pressure can result in a blow out. Make sure the pressure is where it should be.
Gary Atkinson of Werner Hyundai advises motorists to prepare themselves for the unexpected.
"Prepare a kit that you can put in your car. A roadside assistance kit. There is a lot of technology out there that allows you to power your phone in an emergency," said Gary Atkinson. "Be able to jump your car also it provides other 12 volt sources so you can power up other things that you have a pump for your tires for example."
Atkinson also gave more tips such as getting an oil and filter change. Frigid temps can make oil thicken. And have a professional inspect the cooling and heating system.
