Edmonton-Area Dealership Highlights What Drivers Need To Do In Order To Prepare Vehicles For The Upcoming Winter Months

SHERWOOD PARK, Alberta, Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- With winter months right around the corner, Sherwood Ford wants to ensure drivers in the Edmonton area know how to prepare their vehicle for the cold, snow, ice and other hazards that winter driving brings. Just being exposed to the wind and cold is hard enough on vehicles, and the team at Sherwood Ford wants to make sure every driver is ready.

Winter tires are a great place to start when winterizing a vehicle. Winter tires are made with a different rubber compound than regular or all-season tires and that allows them to provide more traction and grip on slippery winter roads. For those who would like to switch to winter tires but do not have a place to store their summer or all-season tires, Sherwood Ford provides tire storage and even offers a coupon on its website to allow drivers to save money while keeping their tires in a climate-controlled facility.

Another measure drivers can take to prepare their vehicles for winter is to inspect the battery. The chemical reactions that are critical to make a vehicle start are greatly slowed in cold weather and an older battery may need to be replaced before winter to ensure it continues to work. Getting an engine block heater is another good option for drivers who wish to help their batteries work during the winter months.

Those interested in learning about more ways to winterize their vehicle are encouraged to visit the research page which can be found on Sherwood Ford's website, www.sherwoodford.ca. Also on the dealership's website is a page with more information on the benefits of switching to winter tires. Anyone who wishes to store their tires at Sherwood Ford may contact the dealership at (780) 417-2985, or 2540 Broadmoor Boulevard in Sherwood Park.
