Federal statistics indicate that 20 percent of vehicle accidents are caused indirectly by weather conditions – roadways with ice, snow, rain, fog, or other factors.
Having good visibility while driving is noted as one of the most important issues in avoiding potential accidents – and it reduces driver fatigue. In the winter, ice, snow, frozen rain, road chemicals, sand, and cold temperatures cause wiper blades to wear out easily. Changing worn or damaged wiper blades provides for better visibility and safer driving.
To improve driver safety, keep your windshield, rear and side windows clean. Have your blades inspected regularly and replace them when needed. At Arvid’s Tire & AutoCare we install the very best blades on the market. They offer ultimate visibility in rain, sleet, and snow driving conditions. Come in during the month of February and receive 15% Off Wiper Blades plus FREE Installation while you wait! No appointment required, so just stop by!
So, be prepared for wet weather driving and let us help you be a safe on the road!

Driving conditions this time of year require special attention to your vehicle.
If you haven’t been in for a while or if it is time for your next visit, have Arvid’s check out your vehicle and make sure your vehicle will be safe and reliable this winter season.
Here are the most important systems and items to pay attention to as we approach Winter:
- Test the Cooling System and antifreeze
- Inspect and Test the Battery
- Inspect all Belts and Hoses
- Inspect Wipers and Wiper Fluid
- Oil and Filter Service
- Determine if you need Snow Tires, Winter Tires or All-Season Tires
- Check Tire Pressure
- Inspect the 4 Wheel Drive System or All Wheel Drive System
Plus, Carry a Winter Specific Emergency Kit
Wintertime requires you to load more junk into the back of your vehicle. But hey, better safe than sorry, right? Things you might want to consider carrying:
- A flashlight, flares and a first-aid kit
- Jumper cables, a tool kit and tire chains
- A blanket, warm clothes and gloves
- Paper towels
- A bag of abrasive material, such as sand, salt or non-clumping kitty litter. Use this for added traction when a tire is stuck.
- A snow brush, ice scraper and snow shovel
- Extra washer fluid
- Extra food and water
Be safe and have a great winter!
