2. Antifreeze coolant can be an essential in winter. Make sure the antifreeze mixture and water inside your radiator is the most suitable. This will prevent the mixture from freezing even at ridiculously cold temperatures.

Such as noticing car’s noise and if it is screeching, grinding or clicking noise that means it is time for you to apply the brakes. If pedal is low, brake pedal nearly touches the floor before engaging. Pull your car to one side while braking. If pedal is hard to move, you must apply extreme pressure to the pedal before brakes engage. Let the brake pedal vibrate or pulse, even under normal braking conditions.


Finally, don’t miss out one thing – inside car scent. It must be also paid attention to as in winter, come unwanted car smells can be also disgusting if not removed. You can buy custom air fresheners to make your car smell fresh. After all these done, you will get successful car care and elongate your car’s life.
