Winter Driving Tips in Rochester, NY

Winter Driving Tips in Rochester, NY

With the winter season becoming increasingly frigid and unforgiving, the Service Department at Crazy Cheap Cars wants to make sure that your vehicle is ready for anything that might occur. Winter preparations might not be something you’ve considered in the past, but it is always important to consider all possibilities when the mercury starts to drop.

Driving Habits

If you do nothing else, you’ll at least want to alter your driving style. Slush, ice, and snow on the roads can increase the amount of time it takes you to stop, and you’ll want to be mindful of this fact before it’s too late. Don’t follow the car in front of you too closely. By leaving a few car lengths between you and them, you will have a larger window in which you can safely stop if you find yourself suddenly sliding or if someone else brakes without warning. While you’re letting your car warm up in order to remove ice from the glass, remind yourself that it is important to remain vigilant and drive a little slower than normal in order to maintain control!

Winter Tires

Once you start planning for winter, you might find that you want to continue getting as ready as possible. If that is the case, turn your attention to the importance of your vehicle’s tires. Standard rubber can harden quickly in cold weather, thereby affecting grip and performance. When you swap for the winter variety, your tires are made from a different material which is optimized for travelling in lower temperatures. In addition, there is also a deeper, grooved tread pattern which helps to dig into your path and provides additional traction over hard-packed snow. Since you are already thinking about tires, it never hurts to double check the inflation pressure and to determine if a rotation is necessary. You might even find a parts special or two that can help when you need a new set.

Preparedness Kit

We would like to share one more tip now that both your mind and your vehicular components are ready to brave the elements. When you do need to travel during the winter, it’s possible that you might find yourself in a situation that leaves your vehicle inoperable, whether it is the result of a collision or a mechanical issue. In this case, you’ll want to keep items on hand in order to alleviate some of the stress this can cause. Hand warmers, winter blankets, extra hats, and gloves are always a good idea. And don’t forget to add flashlights, batteries, and an extra power source for your cell phone in case you need to call for help.

Crazy Cheap Cars wants to help you out and our winter driving tips in Rochester, NY, are just the beginning. Visit us during our convenient business hours, or contact us to learn more!

Our most recent purchase was 2018 Ford Explorer XLT its everything we were looking for and Steve C got us taken care of quickly and was very professional and made us feel comfortable.

So here is my experience. I was looking for a Honda Civic in the EXL trim. I was looking at other dealerships and and from what I found out at 20:16 model 2017 was around 21 to $23000.I would have loved an accord but it was too expensive. I believe I found this dealership off of cars. com.To my surprise there it was, a is, a beautiful white 2016 Honda Accord EXL trim with under 50000 miles on it for 16K!!. I called them as soon as I saw the ad and was greeted with a live person who was attentive and was able to answer all my questions. Very professional! Living in Rochester I drove over an hour to this dealership to look at the car and to testdrive it. I was pleasently surprised, i kept thinking there must be something wrong with this car.. why is it CRAZY CHEAP? couldnt find anything cheap about it, than again its a Honda=) I opted to buy the premium extended warranty that goes up to 100k. Warranties are usually something to stay away with however the value they presented was too good of an oppurtunity to turn down. Today a year later.. I drive my Honda Accord witha smile on my face! Instead of getting a Civic im now in an EXL trim Accord! Remeber that warranty iI was just talking about? I used it today. That warranty which saved me over $500. I negotiated some terms like no deductable and I'm pleased that I can go to ANY mechanic in the US + have roadside assistance and loaner car reinbursement up to $50/day. Im moving down to Miami in 2 weeks and am about to drive over 1,400 miles. I have complete faith that my Accord will get me down there comfortably adn safely sadnif somthing breaks down I have that warranty. Conclusion: Will proudly do business with them again, 10/10 satisifed and would reccomend to family and friends.

They are great to work with

Can’t express enough how easy and honest both Steve and Ron were when I was in the market for a Dodge Charger. Not only did they find one affordable for me they also helped me every step of the way thru the process from beginning to end. I highly recommend those guys as their customer service makes you really feel like family! I’ll definitely be referring them to friends and family going forward and looking forward to my next purchase in the future.

I would rate this a great, stress free experience

My wife, my son, and I drove about 2 hours to check out a Honda Accord that looked really nice online with a very good price. We were met there by Chelsi, who was really friendly and extremely easy to work with. The car was beautiful, better than expected. We test drove it within 10 minutes of getting there and it handled great. When we got back, we met again with Chelsi, and she took the time to answer all of our questions, with no pressure at all. She made us feel very comfortable and we bought the car that night. When making plans to pick up the car, Chelsi was extremely responsive by phone and text, and was never too busy to answer any question I had. I would rate this a great, stress free experience

I highly recommend

Went to Crazy Cheap Cars for a truck that I found on Cars.com. A bit of a drive but so worth it! Chelsi helped me out with the sale and she is great. She was able to answer all my questions and was so helpful. I generally don’t like speaking will sales people, their pitch is so transparent and such a turn off. But Chelsi went at my pace and handled everything like a true professional. I’m very happy with my new truck, the great deal I got and excellent financing terms. I highly recommend.
