Get ready for the winter driving season!

 Now is the time of year for motorists to prepare for safe winter highway travel. One of the first things motorists need to do is look critically at their tires. Even if the area you live in doesn’t see much snow, temperatures of seven degrees or lower affect tire performance. Winter tires are designed to function better in lower temperatures and can shorten stopping distance by approximately 25 per cent over all season tires. To prevent break downs make sure your vehicle is recently serviced. Check all lights, belts, hoses and battery levels and top up the coolant, windshield washer fluids and fuel regularly.
