What does winterizing my car mean?

Winterizing your car is as crucial as winterizing your home. It’s a necessary step to make sure the car can handle the temperature drop and ready to face the chance of snow and ice.  If a car is properly winterized, then you shouldn’t have any issues with it during frigid weather.

Why do I need to winterize my car?

Winterizing is important for preventing a number of problems. For example, you may get a flat tire by not having the right amount of air. You may also run into a small crack or chip in your windshield when freezing water gets inside the windshield.

How do I winterize my car?

With just a few simple steps you can help your car survive the oncoming winter. Protect your windshield from getting that annoying thin layer of ice in the morning by buying washer fluid with antifreeze. To deal with frozen car locks and handles, you can pick up glycerin at most auto and hardware stores. Keep a tube in multiple locations (such as in your garage, at home and in your desk at work). Just don’t put it in the glove box; it won’t do you any good in the frozen car.
