The goal of Car Care Month is to build awareness and knowledge to prepare motorists to make sensible decisions about their vehicles.
Reversing unperformed maintenance will conserve energy, improve highway safety and benefit the environment.
Tips on Preparing for Summer
Car Care Canada offers tips to prepare for summer, to keep your vehicle dependable and safe, to protect the environment and to enhance and maintain your vehicle investment.
Conduct regular maintenance – follow a scheduled maintenance plan.
- Replace worn out parts, such as belts and hoses, before they break.
- Be sure to check all of the fluids (Brake, Coolant /Anti-Freeze, Power Steering, Transmission, Washer fluid) in your car, not just the oil and gas.
- Hot weather is the true culprit behind car-battery trouble – it actually shortens battery life. Summer is the season for major car-battery problems.
- Hot summer weather can be tough on a vehicle, even if you have your vehicle serviced regularly, be sure to have it inspected before a major road trip, and be sure to tell your technician your travel plans (in the mountains, towing a trailer, thousands of kilometres.)
- Clean your vehicle regularly and tend to nicks and chips immediately.

Look for the peaked mountain with snowflake symbol when you purchase your winter tires. Tires marked with this symbol meet specific snow traction performance requirements and have been designed specifically for use in severe snow conditions.
Tires marked “M + S” (Mud and Snow), or “all season” tires that do not have the peaked mountain with snowflake symbol, may provide safe performance in most weather conditions, but are not designed for snow and ice-covered roads.
At temperatures below 7°C, standard tires begin to lose elasticity, resulting in reduced traction. Winter tires retain their elasticity to grip at much lower temperatures.
Wide, high-performance tires, other than those specifically designed as winter tires, are not suitable for use on snow-covered roads. As a tire wears, traction is reduced. Tires that are worn close to the tread wear indicators should not be used on snow-covered roads.
We carry a wide selection of tires. Call us today to find out which tires are best for your vehicle and driving needs.
Cheers,
