1. Check Your Belts and Hoses
Some of the most important parts of your vehicle are the belts and hoses, specifically those that are connected to the engine. You want to ensure that there are no signs of splitting, fraying, and similar issues. One of the major problems that a faulty belt and hose can cause is overheating, which can even occur in winter months if you’re not careful. You’ll have to take your vehicle to a mechanic if this happens, creating costly repairs. So, make sure you give your engine a look over and address any issues you see.

You’ll need to check your tread, the inflation level, and the overall condition of your tires. Cold weather can cause tires to lose air quickly, so the inflation level is one of the more important aspects. Bad tires will leave you standing on the side of the road if all goes wrong, so make sure you check them now!
