Winter Time Is Here - How To Maintain Your Car And Carport?

Winter time is about to start, which means that winter is getting closer and closer to us. For those of you who have a car at home, you will spend more time and effort to maintain and care for your car considering that the temperature is gradually dropping and the weather conditions are not friendly. You will need to purchase items such as antifreeze, detergent, and winter tires to protect your car and ensure safe driving.

In winter, the carport is also essential. If you are in the Miami area, you can also use a simple and portable carport as a temporary parking place and sundries storage for cars. People in Alaska are not so lucky.

Their car needs a heavy-duty multifunctional car shelter to survive the early winter. Whether it is a car or a carport, it needs careful maintenance. How should you maintain your car and carport tent? 

Maintain the car

Do a full inspection of the car

For many drivers, winter is a very troublesome and worrying season. They are about to face many challenges, such as salty streets, icy roads, icy temperatures, and heavy snow. Therefore, before winter comes,  to ensure driving safety, drivers will pay more attention to the performance of the car, and they will buy a variety of care products. But before buying, please classify the things you want to buy and make a list, including tire care products, antifreeze, cleaning agent, wiper fluid, and necessary emergency kits and other items. In addition to preparing the checklist, you'd better ask a professional to do a thorough inspection of the car.

A thorough inspection should include basic components such as windshield wipers and headlights. The vehicle's oil usage, steering and suspension checks, and tire maintenance checks should also be included.

The battery charging and connection status is also a part that cannot be ignored. In addition, there is a very important brake system inspection.

After completing the inspection, you can have a detailed understanding of the condition of your vehicle and know what maintenance supplies you'll want to keep an eye on for the next winter. You can then go ahead and add the necessary supplies to your list and make your purchases based on what you have written.

Maintain and record regularly

After you use the car for a period of time, you should do a vehicle maintenance and check the performance of the vehicle, and then make a specific record. This time interval should not be too long, because the weather conditions in winter change a lot, which is also a huge test for vehicles. You need to add antifreeze and other maintenance fluids according to the specific situation.

Drive carefully and try to avoid going to dangerous areas

Many drivers try to avoid traveling in winter because the changeable weather makes people feel daunting. Even with the long driving experience, experienced veterans will be extra careful in this season. After rain and snow, the road will freeze, which may cause tires to slip and cause traffic accidents.

Therefore, in winter, please slow down and pay attention to the condition of the vehicle. Some camping enthusiasts like to go to some dangerous places, but in winter, it is best to avoid going to mountains and deep snow areas, because you can not predict what is going on ahead, bad weather is a disaster for cars.

Maintain the carport

Check if the car shelter is damaged or corroded

A stable structure is very important for you to use the car shelter in winter. The steel car shelter is of good quality and can be used for many years, but in winter there is a lot of rain and snow, and water may penetrate into the metal and cause corrosion and rust. This will seriously affect the stability of the car shelter, so you need to pay special attention to checking the structure in winter.
