Auto City Collision Repair Center

Folks, with the COVID-19 threat becoming more and more real every day - we have temporarily changed our hours to 7am to 3:30pm weekdays. We remain closed Saturday and Sundays. Thank you for understanding and remember if you feel ill, stay home and don’t allow this virus to continue to gain ground.

In snowy conditions, there are a few things that you can look out for. Every vehicle is different, so know what to do when YOUR vehicle encounters ice. If there are cars swerving in front of you, do what you can to slow down and take an alternate route if possible. Also, when driving on the highway, or any road, leave double the amount of room in front of your vehicle as normal. Do not exceed the speed limit and stay in the far right hand lane. This will allow you to make the least amount of lane changes necessary to get where you’re going.

Safe Travel around Snowplows
1. Don’t crowd the plow. Snowplows plow far and wide - sometimes very wide.
The front plow extends several feet in front of the truck and may cross the
centerline and shoulders during plowing operations.
2. Don’t tailgate or stop too close behind snowplows. Snowplows are usually
spreading deicing materials from the back of the truck may need to stop or
take evasive action to avoid stranded vehicles. If you find yourself behind a
snowplow, stay behind it or use caution when passing. The road behind a
snowplow will be safer to drive on.
3. On multiple lane roads, watch for snowplows operating in either lane.
4. Snowplows can throw up a cloud of snow that can reduce your visibility to
zero in less time than you can react. Drive smart. Never drive into a snow
cloud - it could conceal a snowplow.
5. Snowplows travel much slower than posted speeds while removing snow and
ice from the roads. When you spot a plow, allow plenty of time to slow down.
6. A snowplow operator’s field of vision is restricted. You may see them but they
may not see you
7. Plows turn and exit the road frequently. Give them plenty of room.
