Create an emergency kit.
Make sure your trunk holds a small or collapsible shovel, jumper cables, a flashlight, and a blanket - just in case.

Perform routine checks.
Before the first flake falls, have your battery checked and top off coolant and all fluids to keep your car running all season long.

Put some weight on.
Add a bag of salt or sand to your trunk. The extra weight it provides will help prevent you from fishtailing when the roads are icy.

Keep it clean.
Carry an extra bottle of washer solvent in your car. With salt spray coating your windshield, you're more likely to run out of this fluid in the winter.

Talk to your pit crew.
Stop by Don Rosen Imports and have our service technicians check your tires and fluids periodically throughout the season.

Protect the outside, too.
Get your car detailed to protect the paint from snow, salt, and the other hazards of winter weather.
