As November draws to a close, that means that we are not too far away from the winter months. Some parts of the country have already seen significant snow accumulations. Therefore, you want to make sure that your car has been outfitted for the winter, so that you are better equipped to handle whatever Mother Nature has to throw at you. Below are a couple of steps that you can follow to get your ride ready for winter.

~ Have a mechanic make sure that the following parts of your car are in good condition: Defroster, brakes, heater, thermostat, battery, and antifreeze level.

~ Check your tires to make sure that they have sufficient treads. If they don't, consider replacing them with tires specifically made for winter weather conditions.

~ Actually check out your car's lights. One way to prevent yourself from getting into an accident during the winter is to always be seen.
