Quick Checklist: Winter Auto Maintenance In addition to the added perils of winter driving, the change in weather can bring peril to your car's systems. Freezing temps, salted roads and wintery precipitation can gang up on your car if you don't give it a baseball-bat sized maintenance session. These winter maintenance jobs will keep you out of trouble:

Check your antifreeze
Your antifreeze (the juice that goes in your radiator) is an essential part of your car's winter protection. Your car contains a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. Make sure the level is full and the mixture is close to 50/50. Many service stations and repair centers will check this mixture free, or you can buy a tester for around $5. You did remember to perform a radiator flush last spring, didn't you?

Inspect your tires
The last line of defense between you and an oak tree are your tires. Winter is not the time to get cheap about your tires, so take the time to check the tread depth. The National Highway Transportation Safety Board says you need at least 2/32" of depth to be safe. It's been my experience, especially in winter weather, that anything less than 4/32" (1/8") be replaced soon. The old penny test is as reliable as anything to find out whether your treads are ready for winter action. Also, be sure to check your tire pressure. Believe it or not, they lose a little pressure when it gets cold, so pump 'em up.

Replace your wipers
Wipers? What do your windshield wipers have to do with winter weather? Two things. First, anything falling from the sky is going to end up on your windshield, and unless you have a team of beavers riding on the hood of your car the task of clearing it falls on your wipers. Second, in areas that see snowfall in the winter, you're also driving through that soupy muck that's left on the road once the highway department does their thing. This muck includes a lot of sand and salt, both of which end up on your windshield. It takes wipers that are in top shape to keep your windshield clean and safe.

Check your windshield washer fluid
You'll be using lots of washer fluid as you try to keep your windshield sparkly. A mile stuck behind an 18-wheeler will have your windshield looking like a Desert Humvee if you're low on washer fluid. *Tip: Don't fill your washer fluid reservoir with anything except washer fluid, it won't freeze!

In the Modern World, Car Insurance Matters
In the modern world, proper auto insurance is more important than ever. With more drivers on the road the chances of getting into an accident increases - even if youre the best driver in the world. There are many other factors that should be taken into consideration as well.
For example, the economy the way it is has many people trying to get by without any auto insurance, and this means there are many uninsured drivers on the road. They may not be as careful of a driver as you are. If you have precious cargo in your car, this is another reason you should consider getting the best car insurance coverage possible.

If you are ready to see if you can save money on your auto insurance, its time to use the power of the Internet to get a quote from multiple companies who know they are competing for your business. This can make quite a difference in the amount of money you end up paying every month to stay insured. These days, going without insurance is NOT an option. Luckily, there are many great deals available depending on your driving record, your age, the car you drive, and several other factors. Youll never know how much you can save, however, unless you get a quote.

Tips for Saving Money on Auto Insurance
Beyond just getting quotes from companies who know they are competing for your business, there are some other things you can do to save money on your auto insurance. For instance, you may not be required to get full coverage insurance. While this is usually better in most cases, if you need to save money on car insurance, going with limited liability auto insurance coverage may be a better option, especially if youre a careful driver.
