Tire and Brake Clinic is Eastern CT’s best brake and auto repair shop in the greater Columbia and Lebanon CT area. Winter isn’t over yet for a while up here in northeastern Connecticut. Driving on dark winding roads at night is treacherous, especially in wet conditions. We assume you have already had your car winterized by the pros at Tire and Brake Clinic. Be certain that your tires are properly maintained and your brakes are operating correctly. It’s important to have all your fluids replenished and that old hoses have been replaced. The nights are still cold, often wet, and out in these parts, streets are not well lit. Some words of advice follow.
Stock your vehicle in the event you drive off the road and are staying still for a while. You will need more than a charged cell phone! An ice scraper, a snow shovel, jumper cables, a flashlight, deicing windshield washing solution and a bag of salt or sand should already be in the trunk. It is a good idea to have a lighter, flares, and some reflective triangles set aside. Keep a blanket, extra gloves, hats, another coat, an emergency blanket in a dry bag stashed in your trunk with some water, energy bars, perhaps a first aid kit.
