Winter Driving Tips from Budget Brakes

Friday, November 26, 2010

Winter isn’t necessarily something we really have to put up with in the sunnier parts of the US where most Budget brakes stores are like in Nashville, but that’s not to say it’s something we shouldn’t be aware of. At Budget Brakes, we know only too well that one of our customers might have to make an unexpected trip, and with winter on its way, being aware of what to expect is important for all drivers.

Take a look at our Budget Brakes top winter driving tips below:

1. Drive within your limits. If you can, drive during the day if possible and drive slower than usual. Ice, snow, rain and wind all contribute to dangerous driving that’s even more risky if you’re driving fast.

2. Check your vehicle is properly equipped and is fully maintained. Budget Brakes can check your alignment, braking and steering to make sure that everything’s OK for the drive. Also check that tires are appropriate for the weather. Make sure to check anti-freeze levels and ensure that you have plenty of gas. It’s often the smaller things such as tire pressure that people forget about.

3. Carry an emergency kit. Having a cell phone and a spare blanket to keep you warm are perhaps the two most important pieces of kit you can have, as if your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere, it might be the only warmth available.

If you’re driving anywhere new or taking a long distance road trip – always consider getting your vehicle services beforehand. At Budget Brakes, we can help you with suspension, braking and steering maintenance for your car and truck. With coupons available for just about all our services – drop by and we’ll see what we can do.
