Up Your Game & Prepare for Winter Roads!

Winter is officially upon us and with that being said, you need to make sure all your vehicles are in tip-top shape. 

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you stay ahead of the game. 

First and foremost, make sure your battery is in great working condition. No one wants to come out to their car not starting during a snowstorm. ArborMotion can do a battery test to make sure that your battery can “weather the storm” (see what I did there?)!

Make sure your gas tank is always at least half full. With Michigan snowstorms, traffic is bound to get crazy. Whether you’re on the highway or taking the backroads home, running out of gas while stuck in traffic or during a storm is never a good thing. 

Good items to have in your trunk or backseat are a small shovel and (surprisingly) kitty litter. During the winter, you may experience your tires getting stuck in snow or spinning on ice. Kitty litter provides great traction and gives your tires something to grip (also, an extra pair of boots and a blanket!).

Finally, make sure to get your vehicle checked for winter. Brakes need to be checked, tires need to be inspected, and fluids need to be topped off. Having your vehicle in tip-top shape for the winter is a must. The weather in Michigan is so unpredictable, one day it could be sunny and 50 and the next day we have one foot of snow with sleet coming down! 

ArborMotion is ready to make sure that all of our customer’s vehicles are prepared for whatever winter has to throw at them. Remember to keep things slow this time of year. Prepare to add additional travel time and make sure to keep safe distances between you and other vehicles.
