Drive Safely This Winter Inspect Your Car's Exhaust

With snowflakes flying and temperatures plummenting, the last thing you need is a malfunctiong vehicle, or breakdown. Now is the perfect time to get your car inspected and ready for winter. As part of your car's winterization make sure you include the exhaust system, along with the oil, anti-freeze and brakes. The exhaust system should be checked out from underneath while the car is hoisted up on a lift. Look for rust, cracks and holes in the muffler and tail pipe, which can lead to toxic fumes entering the passenger compartment. Leaks in the exhaust will also lead to reduced engine performance and decreased gas mileage.

Have rusted and broken exhaust parts replaced now, rather than later, your safety may well depend on a properly functioning vehicle. Top brand exhaust parts
are available online, as well as from a reputable auto servicing facility.
