Local Auto Repair Shop Advises Minneapolis Car Owners to Complete Winter Automobile Preparations Now

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Sept. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto Electric & Full Service Auto Repair, a local Minnesota auto repair shop, reminds motorists to handle car maintenance during the fall.

Living in Minnesota, you never know when the first snow is going to fall. Last year, some saw snow as early as October. That's why it's important to perform preventative car maintenance now, because nothing's worse than getting stranded in the cold of winter.

"Now is the time to be thinking about winter auto repairs," said Craig Gornik, owner of Auto Electric & Full Service Auto Repair. "Don't wait until it's officially winter to start worrying about this stuff."

It is important to have your car routinely maintained, in accordance with your automobile's owner manual. Have your oil changed when it's recommended and if you notice anything out of the ordinary, have it checked out.

When you have your car repaired for winter, there are a few parts that are particularly important to pay attention to. You'll want to make sure your heater and defroster are working before a cold snap strikes. Have your tires checked. You'll want them in working order in case road conditions become hazardous.

It's advisable to create and keep an emergency preparedness kit in your car. This kit should include flares, a first aid kit, a flashlight, snacks and other helpful tools. For the winter, you should add to that kit gloves, blankets, a shovel and tire chains.

Schedule an appointment today to have Auto Electric & Full Service Auto Repair take a look at your automobile, before it's too late.
