I admit I am not good at taking care of my car in the Winter time but I know its important. In Chicago we have such crazy weather that it can be hot one day and freezing the next. As a mom constantly on the go with my three kids I need my car to not only be in good condition but I need it to last. Keeping my maintained though in the winter ensures that it will be safe for my family, which is not something I should slack on.
Luckily WaterSavers has some great tips for ensuring your vehicle stays in good condition throughout the winter months.
Vehicular corrosion also occurs most quickly when temperatures rise and then fall below freezing. That’s why most auto manufacturers recommend getting your car washed and waxed at a professional car wash twice a month, especially during the winter.
Using a WaterSavers® Car Wash can is a strong first step to ensuring that your car will be ready to withstand the winter elements – inside and out. It’s also a great way to protect the environment. For example, these car washes typically use only 40 gallons (151.5 liters) or less of fresh water per car wash. Learn more and find a WaterSavers wash at Washwithwatersavers.com.
Cold winter temperatures mean vehicle maintenance is even more important. By following these simple tips listed above, you’ll be able to ward off winter’s harshest advances, protect your investment and those who ride inside of it.
