Winter is coming to Thorndale, which means it's time to prepare your vehicle for the cold weather and challenging driving conditions ahead. One important aspect of winter driving readiness is stocking your car with essential safety items. Having the right supplies can give you peace of mind and help keep you safe if you run into any issues while navigating Thorndale's snowy, icy roads.
The must-have items for your winter car kit include a sturdy ice scraper and snow brush, jumper cables, a spare phone charger, a warm blanket, a flashlight with extra batteries, high-energy snacks, road flares, a shovel, and sand or cat litter for traction. Keeping your gas tank at least half full is also smart in case you get stuck or stranded.
Besides stocking up on essentials, it's crucial to get your vehicle winter-ready with a tune-up. Bring your car to Del Toyota's service center in Thorndale for an oil change, brake check, battery test, and snow tire installation before winter hits. A well-stocked car and properly maintained vehicle will help you drive safely all season long.
