At Jim Schmidt Ford Inc., we're encouraging local drivers to reference our tip list for winter driving in Ohio and Indiana.
While most of us are well-attuned and experienced drivers for all seasons in the Midwest, there might be a helpful hint that has escaped your preparedness. Compiled by our team of Ford technicians, our winter driving checklist has proven worthwhile to reference by families in Paulding, OH.
What to Expect
When behind the wheel of your Ford F-150, it's important to stay focused especially when winter bears down on the region. You may be a very hardy driver but winter has a way of making challenges of commuting or with running errands given the children in-tow.
So, it's best to be as prepared as possible no matter how experienced you are with winter driving in Auburn, IN:
- Oil changes do well to support fuel efficiency and confidence for winter driving.
- Brake system inspections will identify any parts too corroded for continued service with component replacements always in stock.
- Batteries should be tested for charging capacity while serviced for the extremities of winter and colder air temperatures in Butler, IN.
- Tire rotations will evenly distribute wear across the entire setup and promote fuel economy.
- Cabin and engine air filters examined for issues with integrity may well require a new replacement component for a cleaner cabin and engine respectively.
- Exterior lights inspected ensure a proper working system for those dark and short days of winter in New Haven, IN.
- Our multipoint inspection is an assurance that hidden issues are mitigated before becoming costly, hazardous problems.
And recommended is for drivers to compile a winter-driving emergency kit stocked with basic necessities – from First Aid, flares, jumper cables, water, blanket, and ready-to-eat snacks in case of becoming stranded in white-out conditions.
