The snow may be behind us, but with the frigid temperatures still around, it could cost you thousands of dollars in vehicle repairs if you're not careful.
"The temperatures right now are the big things that are really kind of causing some havoc with the cars," Alan Heriford with JoCo Auto Repair said.
Heriford said they're getting lots of calls for cars that won't start in the cold weather.
