If you are traveling this winter season, it is a good idea to keep a few essential items in your car. The weather in the midwest is unpredictable, so it is important to always be prepared in case of an emergency. During an emergency is a bad time to be thinking of everything you should have been carrying. After making sure to service your car at a Lake of the Ozarks auto shop and making sure it has the proper fluid levels, it is a good idea to put together a kit that you hope to never use.

The winter weather can be tough on our cars. If you have recently purchased a new vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks , you will want to make sure you protect it during the cold season. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to ensure your car last all season long.

Because of this, you'll want to make sure all your vehicle's lights are in tip-top shape and provide the brightest possible illumination they can.

If your headlights are foggy or yellow, it may be a good idea to replace them.  Ba
