At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas we already starting to have our run-ins with winter weather. While temperatures in Texas don’t usually get below freezing, it’s important to be weather aware and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If or when ice and snow do find their way to our area, here are the ways to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle.
Tire Tread
You should always be checking your tire tread, but it is especially important to check BEFORE the winter weather hits. If there is any sort of ice on the road, bad treads on tires will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers.
Know Your Route
It is important to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. While you are driving you may not know which roads are clear and which ones have ice. Planning your route out ahead of time will prevent your vehicle from slipping on the icy roads and causing damage.
Fog Lights
When fog settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog lights, or low lights. This may seem like common sense, but if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you, you may not be able to see other drivers, and you could find yourself in an unfortunate collision.
Remove Snow
If your vehicle is parked outside during a snow storm, snow will gather and accumulate on it. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Be sure to push off any excess snow to eliminate the chance of damage.
