The holidays are a time in which friends, family, and loved ones gather together in order to spread love and joy. Dinners are hosted, parties are thrown, and travel plans are made. In order to ensure that the holidays are as merry as possible, we at Desert Oasis European Auto Service & Repair want to remind people of some the necessities when it comes to keeping your vehicle in good shape during winter weather. Having a holiday that is worthy of the season involves getting to your destination quickly and safely despite the obstacles that mother nature may put in your path.
Winter driving requires keeping a close eye on all the fluid levels in your vehicle. While the oil level is always critical to your car’s performance, items such as antifreeze and coolant are more important than ever during the winter. A lack of fluids in these capacities can quickly lead to breakdowns at a time when it’s extremely dangerous to be stranded on a roadside with plummeting temperatures.
Windshield wipers and tires also play a major role in safety if there is snow and ice on the road. Tread that is extremely worn can seriously detract from the traction that is so vital for winter driving. Additionally, windshield wipers that need replacing can make clearing snow, rain and ice from your windshield virtually impossible. Good visibility is extremely important when traveling through even the lightest of snow.
The holidays are an ideal time of year to bring in your European vehicle in for a pre-travel check or tune-up. These machines need careful balancing and attention from a professional eye in order to remain in pristine condition. Ensuring that your vehicle is functioning at it’s optimal best is one step that can eliminate one of the worries that come with the holidays. Avoiding accidents and keeping your vehicle in top shape will keep you and your family safe on the roads through the end of the year. However, Desert Oasis European Auto Service & Repair is here with holiday smiles should you be in need of automotive attention.
Here’s to wishing you and your family a safe and joyous Holiday season… and a most Happy New Year!
