Happy Thanksgiving from Truman’s Automotive & ADAS Calibrations: Stay Safe on the Roads This Winter!
As the holiday season rolls in with the scent of pumpkin pie and the warmth of family gatherings, we at Truman’s Automotive & ADAS Calibrations want to extend our heartfelt wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all our valued customers in Des Moines, Iowa. This year, we’re especially grateful for the opportunity to serve you and ensure your vehicles are safe and ready for the winter roads.
Thanksgiving is not just a time for gratitude and feasting; it’s also the perfect moment to remind ourselves of the importance of safe driving during the winter months. As you plan your holiday travels, we’d like to share some essential winter driving safety tips:
1. Check Your Vehicle: Ensure your car is winter-ready. This includes checking the battery, tire tread, brakes, and heating system. If you haven’t had your pre-winter checkup yet, feel free to schedule one with us.
2. Tire Safety: Consider switching to all-season or winter tires for better traction on snowy and icy roads. Remember, good tires are your first defense against winter driving hazards.
3. Keep a Safe Distance: Increase your following distance in winter conditions. Slippery roads mean longer stopping distances.
4. Slow Down: Speed limits are set for dry roads. When driving on snow or ice, reduce your speed to maintain control of your vehicle.
5. Emergency Kit: Always carry a winter emergency kit in your car. This should include items like blankets, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, and some non-perishable snacks.
6. Stay Alert: Winter driving requires your full attention. Avoid distractions and be aware of your surroundings.
At Truman’s Automotive & ADAS Calibrations, your safety is our top priority. We’re thankful for the trust you place in us to care for your vehicles. As you gather with your loved ones this Thanksgiving, know that we’re here to help you travel safely throughout the holiday season and beyond.
