Tires 

Driving on worn tires during the winter is not a good idea. The roads are going to become more slippery and having tires that can grip the road is a great way to help you avoid an accident. Make sure to have your tires rotated or buy a new set this winter to stay in control. 

Battery 

Batteries have their energy sapped during the winter because of the cold air and when you have an old battery that can lead to a major problem. Most batteries only last 3 to 5 years, so you should replace it if its reaching 5 or more years old. 

Oil Change
