How to Prepare Your Car for the Winter

As temperatures begin to drop, snow and ice start to cover the roads. This can lead to slushy and slippery conditions that cause many car accidents. Prepare for a winter of extreme driving conditions by winterizing your vehicle. Follow these steps to get started. more Pack a Winter Safety Kit If you were to slide into a ditch or get trapped in a blizzard, a winter safety kit can get you through the wait. Your kit should include essential items such as warm clothing, hats, gloves, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, road flares, high-energy foods, water, a radio, a charged cellphone, a bag of salt or sand for traction, an ice scraper, small shovel, and a couple of blankets. Staying warm, hydrated, and fed can keep you safe as you seek help. Fill Your Engine Coolant and Antifreeze During subzero temperatures, antifreeze can keep your engine from freezing. This is important because if your engine were to freeze, you could become stranded in extremely cold conditions. Always check your fluid levels at the start of winter and make sure they are filled throughout the season. Check Your Tires Having good tires is an important part of safe driving in the winter. Regularly check your tire pressure to ensure your tires are in working order. Many gas stations have tire pressure machines, or you could pick up a gauge at any tire store. Also, make sure that your tires have enough tread. If they seem worn down, you may need to purchase new tires. Auto service centers can also check your tires and complete any servicing they may need. Since areas of Colorado experience heavy snowfall, you may want to consider switching to snow tires during colder months. These tires can give you more traction on rough terrain and slippery roads. As soon as spring comes, put your normal tires back on for better fuel efficiency. Winterize Your Fluids Normal windshield wiper fluid may be useless in the winter since it can freeze, making it difficult to see out of your windshield. Before it gets cold, switch your normal fluid out for fluid that is designed for cold temperatures. Likewise, you may want to change to winter-grade oil during your next service appointment. Make Sure Your Car Is in Working Order A reliable car is what you need this winter. Give your car an overall inspection before it gets cold outside. Make sure your brakes, heat, battery, and engine are up to par. Now is the time to get any of these things fixed, before you start driving in harsher conditions. Spending money on repairs now can save you money in the long run, since you are less likely to get in an accident. Of course, the safety of you and your passengers is also priceless. Winterizing your vehicle is an important part of staying safe during colder months. By following these tips, your vehicle will be ready for the roads this winter. Remember, always drive with extra caution during harsh weather conditions.   Image via Pexel

Finance Tips | Rochestr

New Car Financing Tips

Buying a new car is exciting, but it is also one of the largest purchases you will ever make. The most economical way to buy a car is to pay for it outright, but not many people have that sort of cash on hand. If you decide to finance your vehicle, you should consider several factors before diving in. more Know Your Credit Score Knowing your credit score will give you an indication of how likely you are to be approved for a loan. A high credit rating means you will almost certainly be offered a loan. However, you can still get a loan with a low score, but you will likely get a high-interest rate. If the rate is too high, you might be better off waiting until you have built up or repaired your credit score. Reduce the Loan Amount To reduce the total amount of financing you need, put down as much money as you can afford. Pay cash for additional fees — including the dealership, registration, and documentation charges — sales tax, and any extra options you choose to buy. Keep the Loan Term Short The shorter the loan term, the better. You will pay higher monthly fees but you will get a lower interest rate, which can save you a lot of money on your purchase. A long-term loan can leave you owing more than the car is worth. Rochester Toyota provides you with handy tools like a quick pre-approval form and a payment calculator for estimating your buying power and monthly payments.   Image via Pexels

5 Tips for Winter Driving

Make no mistake — it may be nice outside right now, but winter will be here before you know it. There are a couple of things you can do before winter hits to better prepare your vehicle for the cold, as well as some tips to keep in mind when you get out on the snowy roads. Preparation One of the best ways to prepare yourself for wintry roads is to take your vehicle in for a winterization checkup before winter comes. This is a basic car maintenance task everyone should perform, especially if they live in a state that sees a lot of snow. Have your vehicle's battery checked to make sure it's strong enough to stand the temperature drop. Check your tires' tread to make sure they'll be able to properly grip the slicker roads. Change your windshield wipers and add wiper fluid designed for cold weather use. Don't let your gas tank fall below the half-full mark. more Check Conditions It's a good idea to check road conditions before you head out. Try to do this ahead of time, so that if you need to leave your home earlier so that you can drive slower and safer, you'll still reach your destination in time. Generally, you'll be able to find this information on your state department of transportation's website. Don't Brake Hard As you move from traffic light to traffic light, try to come to a rolling stop as much as you can. Braking hard can cause your wheels to lose their grip on the road and start sliding. Another perk of the rolling stop is that it will make it easier to speed back up and avoid skidding out on icy roads. Drive slower and allow more distance between you and the vehicle ahead to avoid having to suddenly apply the brakes. Avoid Distractions It's always a good idea to get rid of distractions when you're driving, but during the winter, it's doubly so. Avoid distractions that take your attention from the road. Never pick up your phone when you're driving on snowy or icy roads. Ask your passengers to not do anything that might distract you. Keep your eyes on the road ahead. Pack An Emergency Bag There's no such thing as being over-prepared. Pack a bag with items that you might need in an emergency during the winter and stick it in the trunk or rear cargo area. Items you might consider packing include drinking water and snack in case you're stuck on the side of the road, cat litter to improve tire grip, a windshield scraper, a bottle of antifreeze, and a flashlight. It's better to have an emergency bag and not need it than needing one and not having it. By implementing these tips into your car maintenance routines and driving habits, you can improve your safety on the winter roads. Winter can cause some scary situations for you and your family, but with the right methods, you can avoid them.

Prepare A Kit for the Unexpected

There's no such thing as over-preparing for a bad situation on the road. Every one of us should have an emergency kit in our vehicles at all times. What goes into that pack should change depending on the season and the trip you're about to take. Here are a few essential items you should keep in your emergency kit: Tools for Replacing/Repairing a Flat Tire Most newer models will already have what you need to repair or replace a flat tire. Double-check to ensure that you have these tools and that you know how to use them. Check to see if your spare tire is in good shape if you have one. Be sure you have a car jack and lug wrench somewhere in the vehicle. more First Aid Kit You should never be too far from a first aid kit during your travels. This essential item should be one of the first you buy for your emergency kit. It should include adhesive bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointments, tape, small scissors, etc. You may also want to include any medications your family takes, such as insulin or an EpiPen. You can put together your own first aid kit or purchase a premade bag or box. Water and Food Bringing water and nonperishable food as part of your emergency kit is always a great idea, but it's doubly so on longer car rides or when you're driving on wintry roads. Stash as much water as your allotted space allows, and slide a few granola bars into your kit in case you get stuck on the side of the road for a few hours. Flashlight Bring a flashlight on every drive you take. Make sure it has working batteries. Many of our cell phones have a flashlight feature, but using it drains the device's battery. Leave the job up to a trusty flashlight if you get into trouble during the night. Weather-Specific Clothing You should pack an extra set of clothing, and a few extra clothing items in case you're stuck on the side of the road in the winter. If it's a rainy season, pack a rain poncho into your kit. If it's winter, pack blankets, sweaters, and other warm pieces of clothing, so you don't freeze if you get stuck somewhere for a few hours. Tools and Fluids If you have space in your car or kit, bring an extra bottle of oil and antifreeze. You should also bring a few tools you think might be handy to have around if your vehicle breaks down. Bring a pocket knife, any tool you might need to change your tire, pliers, duct tape, a tire gauge — any tool you know how to use that you think might help you should you need to work on your vehicle in a pinch. These items are just the start of your vehicle's emergency kit. Start off by collecting these items for your kit, find an out-of-the-way spot to stash them, and feel proud of your preparedness. We hope you never have to use any of these items, but you'll thank yourself if you do.
