Here are a few tips from All My Sons of Tulsa to make sure your car is prepared: You can avoid many dangerous winter travel problems by planning ahead. You should have maintenance service on your vehicle as often as the manufacturer recommends. In addition, every fall:
Have the radiator system serviced, or check the antifreeze level yourself with an antifreeze tester. Add antifreeze, as needed, replace windshield-wiper fluid with a wintertime mixture, Replace any worn tires, and check the air pressure in the tires, keep the gas tank near full to help avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines. It's also a really good idea in case you are stranded for a while you will have heat if you have plenty of gas.
You should have a winter kit in your car that includes bottled water, crackers, blankets, flares, flashlights, emergency flares. Lastly, you should make sure you have your cell phone with you and fully charged, and a car charger for your cell phone just in case you need to call for help.
It's also a good idea to let people know your routine and route and bring your coat, even if you just leave it in the car, at least you have one. If you don't have to travel in bad weather, then don't, stay home where it is safe. And don't forget to protect your 4 legged babies as well. Bring your cats and dogs indoors when the thermometer dips down.
We here at All My Sons of Tulsa are looking forward to the fall and winter season and hope your travels are safe and event free. If you are moving locally or long distance this season, please consider us for your next moving company. We work year round, rain, sleet, or snow!
