How to Use Sand and Salt to Keep Your Driveway Safe

When winter comes in to the Greenville, SC area, it sometimes brings unexpected friends with it. Cold temperatures and light snow flurries are two that usually come with the season, but some areas may receive icy rain which will ultimately make for some frozen and icy driving conditions. The Century BMW service team is ready to assist with your winter driving needs.

One of the unavoidable aspects of this time of year is the slick conditions that befall driveways. Every year, hundreds of people have serious falls that can be avoided with some simple and easy to acquire things applied correctly. Ice-melting salt is one of the best things to keep on hand. As the name implies, it is salt that is meant to break down and dissolve ice and snow and it works great. The only drawback with salt by itself is that when it is done doing its job, the resulting liquid breaks the salt down. Using sand with your salt will ensure that there is always a high level of grittiness to your driveway.

If you want to make sure that your vehicle is ready to go for the season, bring it in to our Greenville BMW center today for winter maintenance. Drive safely.
