Her top tip was to lubricate locks and door handles to prevent freezing that prevents you from entering your engine.
WD40 is ideal as a lubricant for metalwork and costs just £6 at Tesco.
Michelle wrote: “Anytime you travel somewhere where it can snow, you run the risk of getting stranded.”
“You have to be prepared for winter.
“This means winterizing your car and knowing what to do if you encounter dangerous winter weather.”
In addition to lubricating locks, her top tips include ensuring a healthy battery before heading out into the cold, checking tire pressure regularly and making sure your car is serviced.
As temperatures continue to drop during the winter months, another motorist has a time-saving trick to help car owners.
