We just love this #coolcartip about the best type of jumper cables from Donnie Carr, President of Christian Brothers Automotive.
“Choose heavy-duty, high-quality jumper cables. Many jumper cables are too short, too thin or not flexible during cold weather. It’s important to get heavy-duty cables to ensure the current flows through them strongly enough to start your vehicle. Make sure the jumper cables you purchase are at least 20 feet long and four gauges thick. Cables made of copper offer the least resistance.”

#CoolCarTips 💡: The tread on your tires should never dip below 1/16th of an inch. In fact, replacing them a little earlier is recommended.
Not sure what that looks like? Try the penny test: Insert a penny with Lincoln’s head down into your tire tread—if you can see the top of his head above the tread, you need new tires.
