We're heading into an El Niño winter here in California, which means rain. Probably a lot of it. And after the long dry summer we just had, most cars on the Peninsula haven't seen a wet road in months. That's usually when we get the calls. Wipers smearing on the 101. Headlights that barely cut through the spray on 280. A sunroof that suddenly drips on someone's lap. Almost all of it is stuff you can catch ahead of time, so we put together a short video on El Niño car prep and wanted to go a little deeper on it here. We've been doing this at our San Carlos and Redwood City shops since 1997, and these six things are what we look at first every time the forecast turns.
