From Consumer Reports: "The winter months are hard on your vehicle. Cold temperatures, dirt, and road-salt residue can all cause problems. However, there are some simple checks and maintenance items you can do that will help your vehicle stay in top condition."[My experience is that car batteries last about 3 years. Advance Auto Parts will test yours for free. Costco members can get Interstate batteries at a good price.]
