Getting Your Car Ready for Winter


Cold weather is upon us and it would greatly help if, apart from our closet, we get our cars ready for Fall/Winter too.

Below is a checklist of things to look into before the Canberra winter sets in:

  1. Oil Level- ask your local mechanic to perform and oil and lube job.
  2. Car Battery- does it need replacement?
  3. Winsdshield Wipers- bitter cold makes the wipers brittle.
  4. Wiper Reservoir – does it have the appropriate windshield fluid for the climate?
  5. Belts and Hoses- are they worn out or frayed?
  6. Coolant- do you need to add anti-freeze or do a flush-out?
  7. Engine Tune Up- if it’s more than 30,000 since your last one it’s time to get one.
  8. Tyres- does it have the proper pressure?
  9. Car Wax – a high quality wax can help protect car from freezing rain or ice.
  10. Car First Aid Kit- this should include jumpers. cables, torch, blanket, flares and medical first aid in case of emergency.
