CAA Manitoba recommends checking car battery age as cold weather sets in
While Helgason is back on the road, Pereira’s next customer isn’t so lucky. This man will need a tow.During this time of year, Pereira says preparation is key, noting there are a few things drivers might want to keep in their vehicles.
“It would be nice to have a little booster pack; some people carry them but most of the time they don’t charge them,” he said.Pereira gets back in his truck and heads off to his next customer. He averages 10 or more calls a day. “It’s a little more tiring but you’re helping a lot of people,” Pereira said. “It’s amazing, you can’t always help someone – like the gentleman earlier. He had a car problem but they’re so happy you can at least give them sort of an idea of what’s going on with their vehicle.”
Pereira’s biggest piece of advice for drivers is to check the age of their battery and replace it if it’s in that four-to-six age range because once January rolls around, the wait for service becomes much longer.
