Some cold weather checks.

At "Ricks Auto Service" we have some tips to pass on. We haven't had much snow here yet so people are putting off buying "tires" for their "cars and trucks". "Wiper blades" should be inspected and replaced before the snow really sets in. All your "car fluid levels" should be inspected and flushed as required in order to have some sense of security with bad weather here to stay. One last thing that needs inspection is your "car battery" When was the last time the "car battery" was replaced?
