Winter is a terrible season for those who are in a very cold environment which snows regularly. This is why cars can easily get damaged or wear out. Some places are that cold. Thanks for sharing these tips. I am glad that at present I am not in a country that has very harsh weather conditions that are extremely devastating for the cars.

Countries that get extreme freezing temperatures in winter make driving and maintenance of vehicles a bit tricky during those months.. I stay in a place where there is no such extreme weather and no such extra care has to be taken. But I have stayed in the US and other countries where it used to freeze and roads were covered with snow.. I was too scared to drive in snow and mu husband would drive then.

The most commonly experienced challenges with cars during winter is the brakes. In my country, it is always advocated that one checks their brake pads before they go out during the extremely cold months around December. Also, if you can, cover your car or park in a shed to avoid moisture build up during winter.

There are a lot of things to keep in mind to maintain your car during the winter. The most important thing is to keep your battery charged and inspect the coolant to make sure that it is suitable for freezing temperatures. I also use winter tires for better traction and regularly check tire pressure.

You would have to check your coolant to be sure it is at the same level with water so that it would not make the water to be frozen inside the car. And also, check your battery terminals often so that it doesn't rust out.

I think you should first check the antifreeze fluid in your car, on the other hand if you need to change your tires for winter tires it would be a good thing to keep in mind, as it is better to use season-specific tires than to use year-round ones.
