Winter is Here!

With the holidays just around the corner and temperatures falling as fast as interest rates, it's easy to forget about the tough months ahead. Winter is certainly upon us and it's coming whether you're ready for it or not. Don't let Old Man Winter catch you off guard!
The Vincent Garage family wants to offer a friendly reminder to take all the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of your fellow motorists. The tips below are simple and inexpensive ways to prepare yourself for a snowy and slippery winter!

- Keeping rock salt or gravel in your trunk can help you get out of a slippery rut once the fluffy white stuff starts to fall.
- Remember to top off all of your fluids before the temperature gets too low. Cold and dry engine operation can cause unncecessary wear on your motor!
- Keep a good ice scraper in your glove box or under your seat. Nothing is more dangerous than trying to see through an icy windshield.
- The most effective precaution is fitting your car or truck with a set of good all-season or snow tires. These can be easily replaced in the warmer months and stored until the following season.


Give us a call or e-mail us for more tips on how to better "winterize" your car or truck this year.


From the Vincent Garage family to yours, we hope you all have a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!
