Time to get your car ready for winter

October 18, 2003 By admin

Even with Iowa’s warm weekend weather, it’s not long now until winter arrives. Rose White, spokeswoman for Triple-A Motor Club, is reminding Iowans to get their vehicles prepared for the winter season ahead. White says the motor club responded to more than 95-thousand emergency roadside assistance calls nationwide last year. She says inspection of cars now could be the best way to prevent break-downs due to a lack of maintenance. White says a safety check now, before foul weather arrives, could save a lot of hassle later, like when you’re stuck in a snow drift.She recommends motorists have a professional check things like: belts, hoses, tires, fluid levels, wipers, lights and turn signals. The motor club also recommends putting an emergency kit in your trunk along with other items like blankets, a shovel and sand for traction.
