Stay Warm This Holiday Season | Granville, NY

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that temperatures are dropping! And nothing is worse than getting into a chilly car no matter what day of the week or where you’re headed. This week, we have some tips for you to stay toasty warm in your CJDR this holiday season! Check them out below! 

Drive it, don’t idle it. 

• Many drivers don’t know that driving their vehicle will actually warm it up faster than letting it idle for a long period of time in your driveway. When you push start and hit the road, your engine is working hard which then turns that energy into heat which will warm up your cabin making you toasty warm faster! 

Wait 10 seconds and go. 

• Most newer vehicles these days are equipped with stop-start technology which means your vehicle will turn off when it comes to a full and complete stop. Why is this so important? Well, not only does this feature save you fuel, in the long run, it’s better for the environment. And don’t worry – those 10 seconds are not enough time for your engine to cool down. So, you’ll leave toasty warm! 

Got a garage? Park in there!

• If you are lucky enough to have a garage, put it to good use. Parking your vehicle inside your garage will give you a jump start on warming up your vehicle. And if you have leather seats, you won’t have to think about how cold your bottom is when you’re driving down the road. Another added bonus, you won’t have to clean off your vehicle from snow or ice! 

Block heaters, not remote starters. 

• Remote starters are very convenient additions to your vehicle, but did you know that block heaters can do the same job without burning as much fuel? Engine block heaters can cost as low as $30 and can even be set on a timer to warm up your ride while you’re getting ready for the day!
