Winter minimum in the car: safety, visibility and emergency situations. Check out the services on SpotMeUp.


Winter does not forgive the little things: lack of winter fluid, weak windshield wipers, frozen locks and low tire pressure. It can also be surprising in the city - especially in the morning, when everything is icy.

Minimum for the car: window defroster, ice scraper, gloves, small flashlight, jumper cables (or booster), NRC blanket/foil and something to improve traction (sand/gravel). Additionally, functional wipers and winter fluid - without them, even the best tires will not help.

In SpotMeUp you will find Vulcanization andMechanics and service - schedule a frost inspection and specify whether you have problems with starting or visibility.

Frequently asked questions:

  1. Do you need to check your blood pressure more often in winter? Yes - it decreases with temperature.

  2. What is more important: tires or wipers? Both - traction and visibility are key.

  3. Does a starter booster make sense? Yes, especially on short routes.

  4. Does defroster destroy seals? In normal use it shouldn't be, but it's worth using wisely.

  5. Can lukewarm fluid freeze? Yes - and then you have a visibility problem.

  6. Do you need to do a winter inspection? It's worth it if the car is old or has symptoms.

  7. Can I reschedule? Depends on the rules.

  8. How to join as a service? Add profile and services.
