Twin Cities Car Repair Company Makes Repairs after Snowfall

MINNEAPOLIS - Dec. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto Electric, Twin Cities car repair company, reminds locals to take care of their car this winter during and after snowfall.

Winter brings a whole new set of considerations when it comes to your automobile. Winters in the Twin Cities of Minnesota are particularly harsh. Keep up with your car repairs to keep it running safely throughout the next couple of months.

Twin Cities residents have already started to see snow. If things remain the same, we’re in for a white Christmas and a snowy New Year. When it comes to driving in snow, you’ll want to make sure your car is in tip-top shape.

Have your tires checked as part of your seasonal car repair. If your tires are in good working condition, you have less of a chance of slipping and sliding. New tires provide better traction. If you don’t need new tires yet, check your tire pressure. As temperatures drop, so does tire pressure.

"We hate to make car repairs that were the result of something avoidable," said Craig Gornik, owner of Auto Electric. "We would much rather do preventative maintenance, so bring your car in now."

When the road is snow-covered, you may have visibility issues. There may be potholes and other hazards hiding under the snow. Use extra caution because if you hit a pothole, it may result in a bent axle or rim or your car being thrown out of alignment.

Keep a shovel in your car in case your car is stuck in the snow. It’s better to be prepared to dig yourself out of a snow drift than force your car out of a snow drift. Continual rocking can cause damage to your transmission if your wheels are spinning, resulting in the need for car repair in the Twin Cities.

If you do end up with damage, have your car repaired immediately by a local Twin Cities car repair company. The longer you wait to have your car looked at, the worse the damage can get.
