Isn’t it about time you prep your car for winterpocolypse?

Winter is well with us, and El Nino has promised to make it an interesting, and snowy, winter for much of the country. Winter driving is of course its own special skill – part test of fine control, part contact sport – and like any skill, you need the right equipment. Good snow tires are a must, as are fresh brakes, new wipers, and a trusty battery with plenty of cold cranking amps.

Tires help you stop when they can actually grip the road – so for the love of all that is holy get proper snow ones. Brakes make your tires actually stop, so you’ll need those first. Fresh wipers assist you in seeing what it is you’re braking in front of. And a solid battery makes sure you’re not stuck in the cold trying to start your car to no avail. These all seem like good things to us.

Many of these items are easy to replace on your own, or any shop such as an ACDelco professional service center can help. ACDelco comes as original equipment for all GM cars, and they can get you winter prepped and on the salty roads in the time it takes you to set up your dating profile on that hot new site you heard about during your office holiday party…

And once it is set up, your new date will be impressed that you are capable of piloting your sweet ride through the winter hellscape while all the other jabronies on the road are sliding around like 2-ton figure skaters. Now THAT is a good first impression…
