Hey there! Preparing your car for Boston winters is key to avoiding issues. First, definitely make sure your antifreeze levels are good—check the mixture to ensure it’s at least 50/50 with water. Tire pressure drops with the temps, so check yours monthly; consider switching to winter tires if you haven’t already. Also, don’t forget to check your battery; cold weather can sap its power. Cleaning your car and applying a good wax can help protect the paint from road salt, too. Stay warm and safe out there!
