  1. Check you’re A/C system:

-Chances are during Summer months you did not need to use you’re A/C very much.

-We all know how de-icing can wear down your wiper blades. Now is a great time to check them and make sure they do not need to be replaced. Run the wipers with your wiper fluid to ensure they do not leave behind streaks.

 

  1. under the hood check:

-Battery: Check for Corrosion
