Winter Driving Tips

Aristocrat Motors wishes everyone a safe holiday season. With the weather getting colder and as people are traveling to see family, we would like to share with you some winter weather driving tips:

1.       Get a checkup: The last thing you want is a breakdown while it’s snowing. Come in and have your vehicle checked out by scheduling a service appointment at: http://www.aristocratmotors.com/schedule-service. These checks can include:

a.       Battery Check

b.      Coolant Check

c.       Find/Fix any Leaks

d.      Check Wipers

e.      Fill Washer Fluid

f.        Check Rear Defroster

g.       Check traction control and safety systems.

2.       Go slow. Even though your vehicle may have 4 or All-Wheel Drive, that doesn’t mean it stops any faster. Make sure to allow yourself enough time to get there safely.

3.       Keep your gas tank full: In the event of a heavy traffic jam or getting stuck, you need to make sure your car can keep running long enough for help to arrive or the traffic to clear. (Plus the engine runs your heater… wouldn’t want that going out in a blizzard)

4.       Keep your phone charged: For the same reason as in #3, it is important that your phone is fully charged when you leave home and work so you can always call for assistance.

5.       Get snow tires: Many of our customers enjoy the thrill of performance driving, and some of their tire setups are not adequately equipped to handle heavy snow. If that’s your case, we recommend keeping a set of snow tires and wheels for the winter driving season.
