Though Old Man Winter is a little slow in making his lingering debut this season, soon Calgary roads will be covered in layers of snow. Calgary boasts beautiful scenery and a touchy climate that is winter’s playground. You can enjoy playing, too, when you ensure your Ford vehicle is ready for anything the season throws at it. Start with some essential maintenance now and slide into spring in great shape!

When you choose us, you can rest assured your ride is in great hands.

6 Suggestions to Beat Winter’s Wear on Your Ford Vehicle

To get ahead of the winter game this season, here are Lakeview Automotive’s tips: 

1. Put on winter tires. Calgary natives are no strangers to winter’s snowy road conditions. We understand that the weather can change at any minute so winter tires can handle the cold and give your Ford better traction in snow, ice, and slush. It’s a good idea to get those snow tires on now before the snow beats down on us.
2. Keep an eye on tire pressure throughout the season. Your tires will lose pressure as the thermometer drops. It is a good idea to check the air pressure at least weekly to ensure you don’t lose air and risk ruining your rims from driving on a flat tire.
3. Change out the wiper blades. Winter weather affects your ability to see the road. New wiper blades give you a leg up on the coming ice and snow. Consider choosing the type that is geared toward winter weather.
4. Change your oil and top off fluids. Regular upkeep and maintenance should not stop because the temperature drops. You can avoid being stranded in the bitter cold by getting your oil changed now, followed by checking all your fluids, like wiper fluid and coolant.
5. Pack an emergency kit. No one wants to get stranded, but it is much easier to handle when you are prepared with a few items, like:
   Jumper cables
   Emergency blankets
   First aid kit
   Bottled water and granola or protein bars
   Flares
   Extra gloves
   Ice scraper
   Flashlights
6. Keep a gas tank half full at all times. Avoid letting your gas line freeze in below-freezing temperatures when you keep gas in your tank. If you hit the halfway mark, stop by the nearest gas station and fill up. Purchase and sell old jet skis, or have something new delivered to your door from a retailer. Here are some Jet Skis for sale that you may be interested in.
