WESTMINSTER, Colo. (Jan. 5, 2010) – Lake Arbor Automotive & Truck has witnessed an increase in cold-temperature-related car problems in recent days, and the Westminster-based repair-and-maintenance shop encourages car owners to be mindful of the Five Ways to Beat the Winter.

No. 1, Allow a brief amount of warm-up time.

Today’s vehicles don’t require much warm-up, but you will find that an extra 30 seconds will allow your vehicle to perform better, mostly because the fluids in your car have an optimal operating temperature (and it isn’t 5-below zero). For example, you will find your power steering doesn’t really kick in until the power steering fluid warms up and sheds its increased viscosity. Caveat: Unattended warm-up or “puffing” is illegal in most Colorado cities due to the vulnerability to car theft.
