Winter Tips: Proper Car Maintenance

By Maryl Joop


Getting into any sort of vehicle related kerfuffle can be a strain on your psyche. It becomes even more annoying when they're something as minor as a fender bender. Sometimes you will run across a person who will make the accident out to be a lot more than it actually was. You have to have a solid Seattle auto insurance policy in place that will protect you in the event that something happens.

While looking for gas, avoid a station if the tanker is currently present. When they refill their underground tanks, it stirs up sediments that then find their way into your tank as your filling up. Sediment will clog fuel filters and injectors which will lead to poor performance and eventual repairs.

It may seem harmless, but all those big pink bunny key chains hanging from your ignition can actually do some damage. The weight of the key chains will wear down the tumblers inside the ignition which leads to ignition switch failure.

Another viable option that many people have is chains. Chains are great during the winter and can give you some great grip on the road. Because of the damage that they can do to the road, you shouldn't keep them on always so you may find yourself putting them on and off. This might be a cheaper option but it is time consuming and during a snow storm, the last thing anyone wants to do is get out of their car and mess with some cold chains.

In order to avoid the damage that you can do to the rubber on your window and door seals in the winter use a protectant. It will keep it from sticking in extreme cold weather. Do not use any oil-based products because that will only damage the rubber and will only perpetuate it's needing a replacement.

The reality of the situation is that there are instances where someone tries to get more out of the situation than what they actually deserve. Personal injury lawyers occupy a very popular part of the legal profession.

You will be able to find a personal injury lawyer that's willing to see your case for much less money than you thought. Odds are they will even be able to get you a settlement before your case has a chance to go to trial. Hopefully the process won't have to go that far.

If you cannot be bothered to wash your whole car every now and again in the winter, be sure that you at least take care of the most vulnerable parts such as the bumper and underparts of the car. Don't use water to clean it unless you are sure that temperatures will be staying above freezing. Otherwise you will find yourself contacting your auto insurance agencies in Seattle or Monroe.

If you follow these easy tips you will be able to add years to the lifespan of your car and save more money than you would have thought possible.
