Cleaning off your car in the winter is a fact of life. No one is excited to do it. No one enjoys standing out in the cold or the precipitation while they are doing it. But, the simple fact is that cleaning off your car of snow, ice, and other debris as the result of winter weather can literally save lives.
Every year, people are hurt or worse on the roadways as the result of someone not cleaning off their vehicle properly leading to ice flying off their car and striking another.
Get in the habit of cleaning off your car now! Here’s now.
- Survey the situation: Is it just snow? Is it ice? Is it not even worth driving in the current conditions? Take a second and see what you’re getting yourself into.
- Make sure you have tools available: Pretty much every gas station is going to have brushes or ice scrapers or both. Don’t wait until it starts snowing to buy one. Get one now and leave it in your car.
- Start from the top: Clean the top of your car first. It’s the area most people either forget or neglect, so do it first.
- Clear off all all windows and the sides as well: There’s no reason to have any windows still covered. Would you drive like that in the summer? All it does is make your more dangerous on the road to yourself and others.
- Scrape off all ice: Even if it’s just on the passenger side mirror, scrape it off. Clear your car off as completely as humanly possible.
- Check the roads again: Is it safe to drive?
- Be safe on the roadway.

It’s rather rare to have a winter in the Lehigh Valley without at least one good snowfall that causes businesses and schools to close. That being said, not everyone is prepared to drive when it snows. We put together a few tips to keep you safely on the road this winter season.
We wanted to take a minute to highlight a charity that we feel strongly about and have donated in support of.
Locksmithing can be a very rewarding, competitive, and long-term career. It’s not for everyone (we are available 24 hours after all) but it is a skill that can provide you freedom and fun!
The Lehigh Valley area is known for its festivals. Local residents don’t waste any time getting right into the fun of partying as soon as St. Patrick’s Day comes around. Sure, there may be larger and crazier St. Patrick’s Days celebrations across the country, but the Lehigh Valley, specifically with Bethlehem and Allentown’s parades, is one of the best for family friendly fun.
If you are the owner of an older home, chances are many of the original hardware pieces could also still there. From light fixtures, trim, doors, and maybe even the original key that fits all of those old locks.
Bethlehem is officially known as The Christmas City and it lives up to its name with some fantastic holiday events and shopping experiences.
You might think that locking your home doors is something that most Americans simply just do without even thinking about. The statistics, however, don’t quite bear this out.
