Winter car maintenance is a must!

Quebec winters can be harsh on vehicles. The sub-zero temperatures can freeze your car’s fluids, drain the battery and damage the engine. When the mercury drops, ice buildup can damage your car’s essential components, compromising its performance and reducing your safety on snowy and icy roads.

That’s not all! The de-icing salts that make the roads less slippery can corrode your car’s bodywork, accelerating the aging process and reducing its resale value. For this reason, we strongly recommend washing your car at least once a winter.

It’s also essential to ensure that your car is in top condition to reduce the risk of accidents during the winter season. Reduced visibility caused by dull headlights or faulty windshield wipers can make driving dangerous for you and other motorists. Worn or non-compliant tires can also compromise your car’s grip on the road, increasing the risk of losing control.

An eco-friendly thing to do

Proper winter maintenance is essential for staying safe on Quebec roads during winter. It can also have a positive impact on the environment. By performing necessary winter maintenance, you can avoid premature wear and tear on your car and enhance its overall performance.

Professional maintenance saves you from having to carry out more extensive repairs in the future and reduces the amount of fuel or fluids wasted due to damaged parts, poorly inflated tires and more. In short, servicing your vehicle in winter is a must if you don’t want to over-consume, whether it’s spare parts, fluids or gas.
