With the first deep freeze of the season coming, experts say it is important to take proper care of your car.
If drivers did not get a chance to get their car serviced before the freeze, there are some things you can do at home.
Automobile experts say to top off the coolant fluid, but not while the engine is running or warm.
They say to fill your gas tank and, if possible, to move the car somewhere warm.
If you do need to jump-start your car, experts say that probably means it's time to get a new battery.
