Don't Get Stranded without a Winter Survival Kit!

-
Whether you believe in the farmer's almanac and weather superstitions or not, you've undoubtedly heard by now that this coming winter is supposed to be unbelievably cold and snowy here at the Lake of the Ozarks. Temperatures are already hovering at or below freezing, the woolly worms are solid black, and everyone is finding "spoons" in persimmons. These signs, coupled with a frigid winter last year, point towards another wickedly cold winter for central Missouri.

Everyone knows about the actions they should take to prepare their homes or boats for the winter months, but what about their cars? The team at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is here to remind everyone to take some time now to also prepare your vehicles for winter. A winter survival kit can help protect you and your family while you're on the road during the freezing months ahead. Consider building two separate winter survival kits - one containing everything you might need for your vehicle and one containing everything you might need for you or your family.

Winter Survival Kit Ingredients For Your Vehicle

T Snow shovel
T Windshield scraper
T Small broom
T Matches
T Jumper cables
T Tire chains
T Emergency flares
T Flashlight and extra batteries

Winter Survival Kit Ingredients For You

T Non-perishable snack food
T Cell phone charger
T Hand warmers
T Blankets
T Extra scarves, gloves, and socks
T Snowboots
T First-Aid kit
T Water

Always Be Prepared!

Preparing for the worst may not stop the worst from happening, but it will definitely make it seem much more manageable. Ideally, the tools in the survival kit for your vehicle will enable you to get your car moving again if you get stuck in the snow. If you are unable to move yourself, though, then the items in your survival kit for you will keep you and your family warm, hydrated, and fed until help arrives.

Are you concerned about your current vehicle's ability to weather out the harsh winter ahead of us? Come by the Lake of the Ozarks' best auto dealership to find a new car before the cold really sets in! We have a wide selection of both new and pre-owned vehicles for sale.

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar
