Hey Chicago, it sure has been cold out there this week, hasn't it? For many of us Chicagoans, we keep our car parked outside during these winter months. While we continue to take public transit to work, our car sits on the streets undisturbed. Eventually you may need to use your car for a short or long trip, here's hoping it starts.
Some quick tips to ensure that your car starts up when you need it next include:
-Routinely start up your car: Even if you're not heading anywhere, it doesn't hurt to start your car every now and then and take it for a quick 15 minute drive. Not doing so could cause the battery to die.
-Clear your car off: This should be obvious. When snow (finally) begins to pile up, brush it off your car. Don't be that guy with a foot of snow on their car. Your car deserves better treatment than that.
-Wash your car when it gets above freezing. This doesn't really have anything to do with ensuring that your car starts up, but it doesn't hurt to wash off the layers of salt on your car every now and then.
