Tracy’s Automotive will make sure your brakes are ready for the cold weather.

Although the big weather news has been centered on a  massive snow storm that’s eventually supposed to blanket most of the west and northwest, it appears Wichita might dodge the worst of the blizzard. That said, we can expect rain this afternoon and this evening with possible snow in the northwest part of the state Tuesday.

While we can heave sighs of relief, the rain will be followed by low temperatures. The result could be some hazardous driving conditions.

As a driver you need to be especially cautious when on the road. You also need to be especially aware of the effect cold temperatures have on your car or truck.

Your brakes, for example.

“The frigid temperatures can really do a number on your car,” motorbiscuit.com says. “Everything from the car’s engine and exhaust components to its suspension and paint, there’s almost nothing on the car that isn’t vulnerable to Mother Nature’s freezing wrath. The same is especially true for the car’s braking system, which can undergo a number of problems during the wintertime.”

Among the braking problems likely to crop up during frigid weather: rusty brakes, worn-out brake lines, worn brake pads and glued-on brakes.

“While these are the four most common brake system problems that can happen during winter driving, they don’t have to happen to you,” motorbiscuit.com advises. “In order to prevent any of the aforementioned issues, it’s important to have a brake inspection done on your car before or during the winter season. By ensuring that your car’s brakes are up to par, you’ll not only be able to avoid having any of these issues, but you’ll also be safer when it comes to stopping during the harsh winter conditions.”

You can get a brake inspection at Tracy’s Automotive. If you have any brake problems, Tracy’s brake technicians can repair or replace your brakes.

Tracy’s Automotive is here to help you. If you don’t have time or feel you can take your car to the shop, Tracy’s Automotive will pick it up at your home or work. Then, after your car is serviced or repaired, Tracy’s Automotive will bring it back to you thoroughly cleaned.
