Winter car care tips

Don’t put the wipers up when it snows Putting the wipers up and away from the windshield will eliminate the chance of the wipers freezing to the windshield, but it also puts a lot of stress on the spring that holds the wiper arm against the windshield. Be sure to have your wiper blades replaced about once per year. Cold weather can make rubber blades too hard to sweep the glass clean. Also, top off your windshield washer fluid.
