Stay Prepared For Colorado Winter Driving

Winter driving has arrived in Colorado! Is your vehicle prepared for the challenges of winter driving and cold temperatures? These simple tips can help to ensure that you are prepared to navigate extreme weather conditions:

· Don’t drive on empty – Everyone has had the experience of delays due to weather. Icy conditions can double or triple your commute time. Make sure your gas tank is never below half full and keep your cell phone charged, too.

· Prepare your car for winter – Have our skilled mechanics at Emich Chevrolet complete any scheduled service. Make sure you check your battery, tires, lights, and wiper blades. Don’t forget your tire pressure. Cold conditions can drop your tire pressure quickly.

· Consider winter tires – Even with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, winter tires can give added traction and control in icy conditions. Check out Emich Chevrolet’s Tire Price Match Guarantee to ensure you get the best deal on your winter tires!

· Know your vehicle – Read the sections of your owner’s manual covering traction control, anti-lock brakes, four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive to make sure you are comfortable with how they operate.

· Stock your car – In addition to an ice scraper and snow brush, don’t forget a shovel and sand or kitty litter. Also, jumper cables, flashlight, emergency flares, emergency blanket, and cold weather clothing can be crucial if you are stuck for an extended amount of time.
