How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter
By Osuyi T. Uyinmwen, Owner
Texas winters are mild — until a cold snap hits and catches everyone off guard. A short checklist keeps you ready.
Your cold-weather checklist
- Battery: cold cuts cranking power — have it tested before the first freeze
- Tires: pressure drops with temperature; check and top off
- Fluids: top off antifreeze and use winter-rated washer fluid
- Wipers: replace streaky blades so you can see in winter rain
- Emergency kit: blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, and water
A little prep goes a long way
Most cold-weather breakdowns come down to a weak battery or low fluids — both quick to check.
