Sub-Zero Temperatures Place Strain On Cars
We're facing some seriously chilly conditions, and below zero temperatures aren't just hard on people.
Bob Neitzke is with Andy's Towing in St Cloud. He estimates that they've assisted over 100 drivers start their cars since 7am this morning.
Neitzke's advice?
Make sure you have a full gas tank and a good battery. This will improve your odds dramatically when it comes to starting your engine. Also, let the engine run for extended periods of times, and if possible, keep your vehicle in a warm garage or plugged in overnight.
Finally, he asks drivers to be patient with tow truck drivers - a lot of people need roadside assistance today, and it may take longer than usual to receive help.
