We all knew this time would come... now is the time to starting thinking about and prepping your car for the "ber" months! Montana weather is always unpredictable so be prepared!

Don't forget to build an emergency kit for your vehicle. As we roll into the months that end with "ber," remember to add cold weather supplies like extra blankets, warm clothing and gloves, and snow scrapers. Join us in getting prepared this National Preparedness Month!
