As the weather turns colder, it is time to think about your car for a second. A little preparation can go a long way to making your winter travels a lot safer. Here is a checklist to get you started. 1. Check the antifreeze. The freezing point can be checked with a simple tool available at any auto parts store.
Make sure you check the antifreeze when it's cool. Opening a hot radiator can be a dangerous thing. 2. Check the air pressure in your tires. As the air gets cooler pressure drops in your tires. Maintaining your tire pressures will reward you with higher gas mileage and longer tire life.
3. Make sure you have the following items in your car.
6. Check your tires for wear. Make sure you have plenty of tread left to get you through the snow. Nothing is worse than 3" of snow and bald tires..

How to Stop Brake Noise and Keep Your Car Safe
LEESBURG, VA (ContentDesk) August 3, 2005 -- You need a brake job. Five words no motorist wants to hear especially if you have taken good care of your car. "What did the manufacturer?or I?do wrong?" you may ask."Probably nothing," says Joel Burrows, a.k.a. "The Car Doctor" and VP of Training/R&D at Precision Tune Auto Care (PTAC). "The braking system is designed to wear.
If it didn't, it couldn't do the job it does." Burrows advises motorists to view the servicing or replacement of brakes not as repair, which implies a flaw, but as a standard, predictable maintenance item. According to the car doctor, even the noises that brakes make are part of the maintenance design. Braking pads have wear indicators. When the brake pads get worn to a certain point, they are designed to scrape against the turning rotor and make a noise. According to Burrows, those nails-on-chalkboard squeals are alerting you to get your brake system inspected.
That is the impetus behind "Stop the Noise,"...
