Get Your Vehicle Ready for Winter

Winters in Iowa can get rough and every local knows to have the coat, hat, and gloves at the ready. But have you ever thought about how the cold can affect your vehicle? This winter we can expect snow, sleet, and freezing temperatures. Is your vehicle ready? Cold temperatures affect our vehicle's in a lot of ways. It's never too late to take action and make sure your vehicle is running smoothly and safely.

What Cold Temperature Do to Your Vehicle

- Tire rubber hardens, causing a loss of grip to the road surface.

- Engine oil becomes thick and sluggish causing a decline in engine performance.

- Your car's battery can lose power.

- Lower fuel efficiency.

- Deflated tires caused by the contracting colder air.
