Tips for winter

     As we know cars are lasting longer than they used to .  Do not overlook the basics as we approach the colder months.  Things to remember , check those tires and that alignment . This will help you with better traction . Also if you need to purchase tires be aware that different tires have different tread wear which means longer lasting.  Now granted those sportier cars with those wide tires do not fair up well in the snow . In cases of this look into studded snows if you need to drive the sporty car in the winter , you will be surprised at the control you will have.
     Another thing to remember is that coolant flush, there is nothing worse than an overheating issue in the cold .  Tune ups are another very important item , if you have put it off get it done remember cars and cold weather do not always get along.
     And don't be fooled by gimmicks that some places offer .  Any good shop does not need to advertise "free safety checks" with every oil change , any good shop always checks over your car .  Also don't think you need to only get your repairs done by a dealer , fact is you can go anywhere for repair work just keep the receipt .  Drive carefully and safe motoring.
