Fall is the time to think about winterizing your car and, to keep costs down, used car parts is a cost-effective approach.

How do you winterize your car or truck?
Here is a very simple “to-do” list for preparing your vehicle for winter:
- Replace or refill all fluids.
- Inspect or replace your tires.
- Check your battery capacity in cold weather.
- Pack an emergency kit.
- Keep up regular maintenance.
- Wash your car and protect the paint.
- Switch to snow tires.
- Check tire pressure.
- Replace filters if needed.
Please note that none of these steps requires extensive car knowledge. The vast majority of car and truck owners are capable of following those nine suggestions, and the entire checklist can be accomplished in a matter of a couple hours. Such simple suggestions which, if followed, will mean a fully functioning vehicle throughout the winter.
Used car parts save you money.
Industry fact: most cars, and most car parts, are manufactured with an expected life of at least two hundred thousand miles . . . if . . . the vehicle is properly maintained during its lifetime, and proper maintenance is what the aforementioned list of winterizing steps is all about.
And you do not need to spend hundreds of dollars on those action steps. Check local salvage yards for used car parts. Need replacement tires? No problem! Need replacement oil filter or air filter? No problem! Need snow tires? A replacement battery? No problem, and by buying used you will save yourself hundreds of dollars each year when you winterize with used parts.
Proper maintenance equals long-lasting.
The average car owner, completely lacking in repair knowledge, becomes apprehensive at the sound of the words “car maintenance,” and many times they will simply ignore the maintenance rather than admit their shortcomings. And it does not have to be that way. Literally anyone who can crawl on the ground can change the oil and oil filter on a car or truck. Anyone can check tire pressure. 95% of car owners are capable of changing a tire. These are tasks which were known by almost all drivers fifty years ago, and they are tasks you can easily learn too. And, if you are interested in having a vehicle which run properly for a couple hundred thousand miles, you will take the time to learn all about proper maintenance. The simple act of changing your oil and oil filter can add tens-of-thousands of miles to the life of your car.
Your car will thank you for it!
