Get your vehicle\u2019s battery inspected to see if it\u2019s near the end of its lifespan. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/what-should-be-in-a-winter-car-kit\/\">We also recommend packing some jumper cables into your trunk, among other winter gear.&nbsp;<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>Tire replacement:<\/strong> In our area,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/when-is-the-best-time-to-switch-to-winter-tires-in-the-edmonton-area\/\"> it is important to switch to winter tires before it snows<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/blog\/do-winter-tires-really-make-a-difference\/\">Snow and ice are best handled by tires that are meant for this terrai<\/a>n.
