One of the biggest concerns for Hayward, WI motorists in the winter season is getting stuck in the snow. Depending on the location, getting your car or truck stuck in accumulated snow can be scary and dangerous. Keeping basics in your car can help reduce the stress, possibly free your tires from the snow, and keep you safe until help arrives. Keep these items in your vehicle:
- Blankets
- AM / FM radio with batteries
- Snacks - Peanut butter, crackers, chips
- Jumper cables
- Flashlights
- Shovel
- Kitty litter
Why kitty litter? Kitty litter adds traction that may help allow your vehicle's tires to become unstuck in the snow. Just add some under the tires. Rock salt will melt snow and ice, but it is more expensive and harmful to animals and the environment. This winter, make plans to visit Timber Ford of Hayward or give us a call to set up an appointment with our mechanic team for seasonal maintenance.
