Winter in St. Louis can be unpredictable—icy roads, cold temperatures, and even snowstorms can all take a toll on your vehicle. At Car-X Tire & Auto, we know that proper winter preparation can keep you safe and save you from costly repairs.

Key Steps for Winter Car Preparation

Tire Maintenance for Winter

Winter tires are essential. Check tread, pressure, and rotate tires for even wear.

Preparing Fluids and Battery for Winter

Cold weather can weaken your battery and thicken your oil. Have your battery tested and change your oil if needed. Also, verify that your antifreeze levels are correct to prevent engine overheating.

Winter Brake and Light Checks

Ensure brakes and lights are working for winter’s short, dark days.

Building a Winter Emergency Kit

Prepare an emergency kit with blanket, ice scraper, flashlight, and fluids for winter delays.
