Shop AroundIf you’ve been around cars a

long time, you probably alreadyhave a body shop in your backpocket. If it’s your first time, startshopping for a body shopbefore you need one. Being pre-pared ahead of time will helpyou make the best decision foryour car and your wallet.

Pay attention to local news-paper ads. Search online forbody shops in your area. Ask

your friends and family mem-bers where they prefer to dropoff their car. It doesn’t necessar-ily matter how you learn aboutthe best shop for your needs,just that you actually find one.

Check with your local con-sumer organization for red flagson the operations, qualificationsor customer service of your localshops. Remember that ifenough customers have hadproblems with a particular shop,it probably isn’t worth the risk ofbringing your car there forrepair.

Glove compartments offer agreat nook for storing bothessential and non-essentialitems. If you’re not using yourglove box, you’re missing outon the opportunity to be moreprepared should you be pulledover by a police officer or beinvolved in a collision.

Re-think your glove boxstrategy and make sure the fol-lowing items are in it:

CriticalDocumentation:

Keeping items such as yourcar insurance cards in yourglove box isn’t just convenient— it’s the law. Most insuranceagencies send a small placardor pouch for storage of your

cards, so they’re easy to findinside your glove box whenyou need them the most.

It’s a good idea to storecopies of titles and registrationin your glove box, but you’llwant to keep your title athome and your registration inyour wallet in case your car isever stolen. Your owner’s man-ual and maintenance schedulealso make for great additionsto your glove box. Just be sureto keep the maintenanceschedule up to date.

in the distant future. Dependingon where you live, you mayalready be seeing snow on theground.

It is imperative to thoroughlywash the undercarriage of yourcar during the fall and wintermonths. This is because anyresidual road salt that your carmay have accrued can suck upthe moisture in the humid air ofthe summer, which could leadto even more problems whenthe heat comes calling.

Don’t Forget theInterior

Crumbs and dust are easy tovacuum up from your car’sfloors — if you can see them.Suck up the visible items first,and then use an air compressorto blow the more hidden

objects out of their hidingplaces. The spaces between theconsole and your seats is hardto reach with a vacuum. An aircompressor will keep thesespots dust-free.

Don’t forget to treat yourseats — especially if they’releather. A specialized condition-er will keep your leather lookinggreat and standing up to thetest of time. Consult with yourowner’s manual for any materi-al-specific information.

Windows also should betaken care of during a thoroughcleaning. Find a glass cleanerthat works for you and makethis the last step of the wash.Use a microfiber cloth to pre-vent streaks or spots from form-ing on the windows.

The National Institute forAutomotive Service Excellencehas some advice for drivers thiswinter who are looking to pre-pare their vehicles for the coldair and potentially icy condi-tions. Remember that everyautomobile is different, butthere are some basics to followfor ultimate protection.

• Read the owner’s manualand follow the recommendedservice schedules. These guide-lines are meant to keep yousafe and your vehicle on theroad for years to come.

• Have any issues with yourheating system checked out bya certified technician. It couldneed a simple adjustment orperhaps an entire replacement.Either way, you’ll want to have itchecked now to be safe.

• Also have a certified techni-cian check any issues related torough idling or stalling. Gettingstuck on the side of the road inthe frigid cold air is not a situa-tion you want this winter.

• Have your belts and hoseschecked by a qualified techni-cian for tightness and overallquality. Replacing a leaky hoseis simpler and more cost effec-tive than replacing a damagedengine or heating system.

• Change the oil and oil filteras specified in the owner’smanual. Always remember toproperly dispose of used oilwhen performing an oil changeyourself.

• Replace worn wiper bladesand keep plenty of washer sol-vent on hand. Consider addinga de-icing product to your reser-voir to help your blades standup to icy conditions.

• Inspect all lights and bulbs;replace burned out bulbs.

The winter chill can be downright damag-ing to your car’s engine and other sys-tems. What you do about it now, before

the temperatures drop, can make a dramaticimpact on the overall health of your car dur-ing the winter.

Even the smallest windshieldchip can turn into a large crack,which can then lead to a costlywindshield replacement. Evenmore important, cracks canimpede your line of sight orcompromise the overall rigidityof your windshield.

You basically have twooptions when it comes to fixinga smaller chip: doing it yourselfwith a windshield repair kit orhiring a specialist to take care ofthe work. Both have pros andcons, so consider all factors

before making your choice.

Doing it YourselfWindshield crack repair kits

are sold in the auto partsdepartments of many local andbox stores. If applied correctly,these acrylic adhesive and filleroptions are great for repairingsmall chips or cracks.

The instructions for applica-tion may vary between prod-ucts, but applying these materi-als to your windshield is astraightforward process.

Some things to remember: • Move your car out of direct

sunlight to keep the repair resinfrom drying too quickly

• Don’t forget to use a pin orsmall nail to dig out any loosechips of glass

• Protect the area of the caryou’re leaning against with atowel to prevent scratching

The major risk you take whenhandling a repair yourself is notknowing if it’s going to work.But by following simple instruc-tions, you should be able to fillin the chip and stop it fromspreading. It may not be perfect,but it will get your windshieldsafe and road-ready.

Hiring a ShopYou may think that taking

your car to a body shop for awindshield repair will be expen-

sive. You might be right, butdepending on your insurancecoverage, a repair may actuallycome at no cost to you. Reviewyour policy and talk to youragent about the specifics ofyour policy.

One of the greatest benefitsof having a professional handleyour repair is the warranty thatmight come with it. Many shopswill back their performancewith a long-term guarantee togive you confidence in theirwork.

Be sure to know exactlywhere and how big your wind-shield crack is before droppingyour car off at the shop. Themore you know about the crack,the better prepared you’ll be toanalyze the shop’s job later.

Windshield damage can be frustrat-ing. You can do everything right as adriver and still incur chips or cracks

from a stray rock. While this is out of yourcontrol, taking quick action to fix the problemis critical.

5SAFETY |

Come to think of it, fall driv-ing requires an alert operatorand a prepared vehicle. That’swhy taking some preventivesteps now is so important toremaining safe on the roadswhen the leaves begin to fall.

The WeatherOnce the leaves begin to fall

on the road and become wetfrom rain, they can pose slip-pery threats to your driving safe-ty. Keep an eye out for patchesof wet leaves to prevent poten-tial issues.

Fall also is the perfect timefor the occasional rain or snowstorm that seemingly comes outof nowhere. The fog also canplay a part in creating danger-ous driving conditions, especial-ly during the early morninghours before the sun comes up.Make sure your windshieldwipers are up to the challenge.Change them at the end ofsummer to help keep your visi-

bility clear.

Daylight Saving Time The end of daylight saving

time means less sunlight duringthe evening hours, which canlead to reduced driver visibility.Especially if you’re traveling onunfamiliar roads during theevening, pay special attention toroad signs and changes in ter-rain.

The comfortable tempera-tures may still be drawing outlarge numbers of bikers andjoggers, too, so keep your focusto avoid unnecessary incidents.While the sun is still up andbright, wear sunglasses to helpbattle the glare caused byreflections off car windows andhoods.

Watch Out for DeerDeer collisions account for

thousands of accidents everyyear across the United States.

Fall driving may not seem like a particu-larly dangerous activity, but considerthese key factors: unpredictable weather

changes, less sunlight in the evening hoursand the potential for more deer and wildlifeon the roads.

Prime times for deer to runacross roads are at dawn anddusk. Since fall is an activebreeding time for deer popula-tions, they are more prevalenton our roadways during thistime of year than other seasons.

If you see a deer cross theroadway, proceed with caution.They generally travel in groups,

so be on the lookout for others. Hitting a deer at even a slow

speed can damage your car andhurt both you and the deer.Work on using your peripheralvision to keep an eye on thesides of the roads. Spottingthem here will give you enoughtime to slow down and preventa collision.

battery can lead to car troublesor even personal injury, so besure to understand how yourbattery works before attemptingto maintain it.

Belts & Hoses The AAA also recommends

that you inspect the undersideof accessory drive belts forcracks or fraying. Many newerbelts may not show wear andtear. The AAA suggests replacingthese at 60,000-mile intervals.

Engine hoses also should beon your list of things to inspect.Check out your cooling systemhoses for leaks, cracks or looseclamps. Replace any that arebrittle or feel more spongy thannormal hoses. These are proba-bly near the end of their lifes-pans.

Tire CarePrepare your tires for the

upcoming winter conditions bymaking sure yours are in goodcondition. Replace any tire withless than 3/32-inches of tread,says the AAA. Prevention is yourbest bet in maintaining effectivetires, so be sure to get regularalignments at the recommend-ed time intervals.

If your tires appear to be ingood shape, check inflation onall four and the spare. The cold-er conditions in the fall and win-ter can drop tire pressures.Check your owner’s manual orthe side of the tire for the rec-ommended PSI and fill accord-ingly.

| SNOW TIRES

Many people leave all-seasontires on their vehicles through-out the year, but snow tires mayhelp decrease snow-relatedaccidents and may even helpdrivers save money on theirauto insurance.

Consumer Reports says thatautumn is the best time to buysnow tires. As drivers preparetheir vehicles for winter, the fol-

lowing snow tire tutorial canshed some light on why drivingin winter is safer with snowtires.

• Snow tires are particularlyhelpful for people who cannotwait for roads to be clearedbefore they begin their days.Snow tires provide greater trac-tion in wet, snowy or slushyconditions. Snow tires provide

Automotive experts say that snow tiresare a worthy investment that improvemaneuverability and stopping power

on winter roads.

ample grip and make it easierfor cars to turn corners and stopon slick roads.

• As the mercury falls, therubber used to make traditionaltires can become hard and lesspliable, compromising its abilityto grip the road. However, manysnow tires are made with a spe-cialized rubber that remainssupple even in very cold tem-peratures, making it easier forthe tire to hug the roadwayseven when those roads are inpoor condition.

• People who live in very coldclimates and areas where snowand ice dominate the landscapefor several months per yearoften find all-season tires areinadequate and likely to slip.Snow tires make for safer alter-natives in such regions.

• Snow tires are typicallymanufacturered the previoussummer, meaning inventory isfinite, according to ConsumerReports. Drivers who wait untilthe first snowstorm to purchasetheir snow tires may encounterlimited inventory and find it dif-ficult to locate the right size tirefor their vehicles. That’s why it’simportant to shop early.

• Retire snow tires earlierthan you would all-season tires.Snow tires lose almost all oftheir effectiveness once theyreach 6/32-inch deep tread.

Snow tires can make roadssafer for drivers who live inlocales with long, snowy win-ters. They also are ideal for driv-ers who desire more traction,cornering and stopping capacityon winter roadways.
