Bangor -
When the temperature drops, it's a reminder for many drivers to maintain their cars, but some have to learn the hard way.
Union Street Towing in Bangor had a busy morning on Wednesday. By midday the staff had responded to around 65 battery-related calls.
Owner Butch Foss said it's all about being prepared before it's too late.
"Do your maintenance now. Then when it gets to be 10 below zero your car starts and away you go. The people that don't, call us and have to wait an hour for service," said Foss.
He recommends having your battery checked out and keeping plenty of air in your tires, so you can avoid having to call for a tow.
