As the hours tick down until North Texas experiences its first major wintery weather event this season, local mechanics urge drivers to prepare their cars before hitting the roads in the weather.
Downtown Garage Tire and Auto Service Manager Chris Hodge tells CBS 11 News to check your car’s fluids.“You always want to make sure that it’s topped off with oil, transmission fluid,” said Hodge.
Hodge also said to check your car’s coolant, “You really want to pay attention to your hoses, make sure you do a hydrometer test on your cooling systems, check your freezing points, as coolant starts to break down, it starts to create a voltage which can actually eat your hoses from the inside out.” Inside your car, AAA urges you to keep jumper cables around and an emergency kit in your car just in case you get stranded on the road.
