All About Winter Tires
Winter weather is around the corner, so many people are switching to winter tires. Why? Winter tires will give you the best performance in ice, wind and snow. Tests conducted on ice show that even at 25 km/h, vehicles using winter tires had a stopping distance nearly a full car length shorter than the same vehicles using all-season tires. Without winter tires, you are more prone to slippage on corners, spinouts and trouble on icy hills.
Why Cars Need Preventative Maintenance
As a vehicle is driven, the internal parts heat up and wear. Just like anything, with enough use (even careful use), the parts of a car will break down. Preventative maintenance can decrease the amount of wear on those parts, help detect parts that are beginning to malfunction, and allow you to keep your vehicle in its best possible condition. Ultimately, the small cost of preventative maintenance will lengthen the life of your vehicle, potentially saving you the increased cost of a breakdown in future.
Rust Proofing – Does it Work? Is it Worthwhile?
Salt and sand keep our roads safe, but also lead to rust.
More and more mechanics are recommending rust-proofing or undercoating, even if you are already starting to see rust on your vehicle.
While rust proofing won’t reverse any damage that has already been done, it will stop any rust that is starting, keep it dormant, ultimately extending the life of your vehicle.
