If you drive in the winter, it is very important to have a bag of sand, salt, or litter in your vehicle. If you have that, you will be much more likely to be able to get out of an icy situation. All you need to do is throw down a generous amount of sand, salt, or litter under your wheels and you will be able to get out of a slippery spot.
There may not be anyone around to help you, so it is a good idea to prepare yourself for the worst. It is also a smart idea to get your vehicle serviced by our trained technicians here at Volkswagen of Salem.
Sand's a good choice to have because it's cheap. Litter can tend to get messy when it gets wet and salt can actually corrode tour vehicle so you want to make sure that you get your car washed.
