With chilly temperatures and snow in the forecast for Lansing, MI, it's important to be prepared when driving this winter. At Crippen GMC, we want to make sure you stay safe on the roads during the colder months. Here are some essential items we recommend keeping in your vehicle.
An ice scraper and snow brush are must-haves to clear off windows, mirrors, and lights before hitting the road. Pack a blanket, extra gloves, and a hat in case you get stranded. Stash a flashlight with extra batteries for nighttime emergencies. A first-aid kit, bottled water, and non-perishable snacks are also wise to have on hand. To prepare your vehicle for winter, bring it to our service center for an inspection and any needed maintenance.
Other handy items include a small shovel, a bag of sand for traction, and jumper cables or a portable jump starter. By keeping your car stocked with these winter items, you'll feel safer driving around East Lansing and Okemos this season. Stop by Crippen GMC for all your winter vehicle needs and let us help you gear up for safe travels.
