Winter can bring hazardous driving conditions to the Columbus, OH area. Being prepared is key to staying safe on the roads when temperatures drop and snow starts falling. At Byers Volvo Cars, we want to make sure you and your Volvo are ready to handle whatever winter brings.

Some essential items to keep in your vehicle include an ice scraper and snow brush, blanket, flashlight with extra batteries, jumper cables, and snacks and water in case you get stranded. It's also a good idea to keep a bag of sand, cat litter, or traction mats in case you need help gaining traction on slick surfaces. Planning ahead and having these items on hand can provide peace of mind during your winter drives.

Another important way to prepare is by getting your Volvo serviced at our service center before the heart of winter hits. Our expert technicians will make sure your vehicle is in optimal condition to handle the harsh conditions, checking important components like your battery, brakes, heating system, and tires.
