How To Winterize Your Car

Posted: July 17, 2026

What’s up, scrappers!

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. Happy New Year goes out to all my scrappers out there!

Suddenly, it has become winter. In honor of winter, I’m going to give you some tips on something I spend a lot of my time on, and that’s car stuff.

How To Winterize Your Vehicle

• Car Battery – Probably the most common problem in winter. The cold weather is harsh on car batteries, so make sure to get it checked to ensure it’s holding a charge for those chilly morning starts.
• Anti-Freeze – Make sure it is topped off and still good if it hasn’t been changed in the last 2 years make sure you have it flushed and replaced before the cold weather kicks in.
• Brakes – Weather doesn’t matter; you should always have good brakes! Make sure you have your brake pads checked if they are hissing or squeeling its time to have them checked!
• Tires – Check the tread and keep an eye on the tire pressure; tires tend to lose air more easily in colder weather. Ensure your vehicle has either an all-season tire or a snow tire.
• Be Prepared – we recommend always carrying in winter an ice scraper, a snow brush, water, and snacks (in case I get stuck somewhere), and a small shovel.

To all my friends out there with sports cars it looks like the time has come to put them away I hope you all enjoyed the bonus time we got to drive them around this season. Time to put them in the garage until spring.
