July 8, 2025

At Wilson's Auto World, we always strive to keep our customers informed and safe on the road, especially during challenging weather conditions. Recently, we had the honor of being featured in a CBS News article that shares expert tips on how to get your car ready for winter. As the cold season approaches, it's essential to ensure your vehicle is prepared to handle the harsh conditions.


Winter weather can be tough on your car, but with the right preparations, you can reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs. Our experts at Wilson’s Auto World offer the best solutions for making sure your car is winter-ready, and we were thrilled to share some of our top recommendations with CBS News.


Why Winter Car Preparation Matters


Winter conditions can put significant strain on your vehicle. Cold temperatures, snow, and ice can affect your car's battery, tires, and fluids. The right pre-winter maintenance can help ensure your car runs smoothly throughout the season and minimize unexpected issues that could leave you stranded in freezing conditions.


Key Winter Car Care Tips


Some of the top winter car care tips highlighted by CBS News include:


  • Battery Health: Cold temperatures can reduce your battery's efficiency. Have your battery tested before the winter chill sets in, and if it's old, consider replacing it for peace of mind.
  • Tire Checks: Your tires are crucial for traction on icy and snow-covered roads. Make sure the tread depth is sufficient, and if needed, switch to winter tires.
  • Fluids: Top off your windshield wiper fluid and make sure your antifreeze levels are correct to avoid freezing. Using the right oil and making sure all other fluids are at optimal levels can help prevent engine issues in the cold.
  • Brakes & Wipers: Make sure your brakes are in top condition, as icy roads demand extra stopping power. Check your wiper blades and replace them if they’re worn.
