Find out everything in this article.  

As soon as your car's wiper blades begin to show less cleaning capacity, it's time to change them. The colder weather demands more from this component. So check the wipers every fall/winter. Poor visibility can put your life and the lives of other road users at risk.  

With the days getting shorter, good lighting is crucial. Regularly check the functioning of all the bulbs and, just as importantly, their intensity. Don't forget to clean the plastics on your headlights, as dull headlights don't illuminate the road as well.  

Air conditioning, contrary to what many people think, is also very useful during the winter. It's the best solution for fogging up car windows. And for this solution to be even more effective, clean the windows regularly with your household window cleaner. 

Correct tire pressure doesn't just contribute to your safety. Fuel savings, noise reduction and greater longevity are also some of the benefits of correct tire pressure. Make sure you check your tire pressure once a month and take the opportunity to monitor the condition of your tires.  

With winter upon us, we know we can't be too careful on the road. Slippery road surfaces and more dangerous braking mean that the pads, discs and the entire braking system must be in perfect working order.   

In winter, road degradation tends to increase. That's why, in addition to the tires and rims, the shock absorbers are also affected. A visual check can help detect possible oil leaks and mechanical damage. It should be noted that shock absorbers in poor condition put your safety at risk as they increase the braking distance. 

With Guerin's advice, looking after your car in winter has never been easier. If you prefer, rent a car from Guerin's vast fleet and leave these worries to us. Winter can also mean getaways with family or friends. You just have to want to. Set off on your adventure with Guerin.
