With thanksgiving just around the corner, the winter season is almost upon us. As all drivers should know, driving through winter poses risks and challenges that can be overcome with a few simple tips and pointers. Here are some important winter driving tips from Car Care Council.
Check antifreeze level to protect engine, radiator, and hoses against freezing Carry emergency kit, heavy bag of sand in trunk; weight will lend traction on icy roads Check battery; winter weather can cut life in half Replace windshield wipers if cracked, torn; use specialized winter blades in severe conditions Keep tires properly pressurized; use specialized tires in extreme climates Maintain gas tank at least half full to prevent gas lines from freezing

I want to tell you and your readers about SAM, it’s a new way to be able to manage your car.
SAM, short for Smart Auto Management, is a self-service diagnostic kiosk that provides you with vital information about your car. It only costs $15 and takes less than 10 minutes. Sam is available 24/7 and gives you a comprehensive read-out on your car. It will be launching 200 kiosks in Raleigh NC, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Northern California.
I think this is going to be a great way to keep up with your car that’s easy and cheap. You can learn more about SAM by visiting http://www.iamSAM.com
Thanks,
