5 Auto Tips To Follow This Winter

1. Inflate your car tires adequately: Do you know that each time the temperature drops below 10° C, your tire pressure drops about 1 to 2 pounds per square inch (PSI)? This means that to continue enjoying the safe and smooth performance; you must check your tire pressure and inflate the tires to their specified level, which will help you maintain control on the road. 
2. Use rubber floor mats: When you step in your car with wet shoes — thanks to snow, freezing rain and ice —  your floor carpets can get messy quickly, as they easily soak up water and moisture quickly. We recommend getting high-quality rubber floor carpets to avoid this problem and keeping the mess contained for easy cleaning. 
3. Use a remote engine starter: You can avoid getting in a freezing car cabin by simply getting a remote engine starter, available in many different types, which will warm up your car and the engine beforehand, inviting you in for a cozy, comfortable and uninterrupted drive. 
4. The importance of antifreeze: Antifreeze helps protect your car’s engine in extreme temperatures. Ensure you have enough antifreeze to enjoy a safe and comfortable driving experience without the threat of running out.
5. Increase visibility: You should replace your windshield wipers at least twice per year, including getting winter wipers, as recommended by S&B Keswick experts, to ensure maximum visibility throughout the year. You can also get an anti-rain treatment to increase the water-repellant efficiency of the windshield, effectively removing snow from the treated windshield.
