Safe Driving in Winter Conditions

With winter upon Chicagoland and icy and snowy conditions starting to show up on our motorways, now is the time to focus on safe driving. Remember, these aren't the same roads you've been used to the past fall and summer. These slushy, icy and snow-filled roads are simply a car accident waiting to happen.

The simplest steps to take during these wintry conditions, as provided by the American Safety Council, are to:

  • Stay alert;
  • Slow down; and
  • Stay in control
Of course, if your car isn't prepared for the winter, none of these tips will be of any help. Have you winterized your car yet? West Loop Auto is proud to offer winterizing options and winter survival kits for your car for your automobile. Take your car in today for important maintenance to get you through these cold months. Making sure that your brakes, exhaust system, wipers, heater, battery, tire pressure, defroster and other vehicle parts and services is in working order is extremely important.

Even the best driver is going to struggle through the winter season if their car hasn't been properly maintained. With so much in the way of fluctuating temperatures in Chicago, your car requires a bit of TLC before it faces another harsh Chicago winter.
