Winter is on its way, and along with that comes the importance of getting your vehicle ready for said cold weather, including proper tires. We all know how harsh winter weather can be, from Saskatchewan to Manitoba, and Canada-wide. That’s why winter service isn’t just a suggestion, but a necessity in ensuring the long-term health of your vehicle, top performance during the winter months and collective safety. Follow along with our Key Auto Group team as we outline why winter service is so essential, and when you should get it.

4 Top Reasons Why Winter Service is Essential

 

  • Top Safety
    • You need trust in your vehicle during the winter, and winter service ensures that your most important components like the tires, lights and brakes are all in working order.
  • Fluid Top-ups
    • Winter can be a bear on the fluids in your vehicle. Make sure windshield washer fluid and coolant is always topped up, to prevent freezing and to promote safety.
  • Engine Performance
    • Cold weather does a number on your engine. Get things like an oil change and battery checks done, to prep your engine for those cold temps.
  • Looking Ahead
    • You want to identify issues on your vehicle before they become a problem, which eliminates more severe repair, and damage to your wallet. A winter service job helps you get a jump on potential issues during this tough time.

When Should You Get Winter Service?

Just because it’s called “winter service” doesn’t mean you should wait for winter and snow on the ground to get it done! Not at all, you need to think again and do so fully in preparation for the season. That means that winter service should be done before you see snow on the ground, which means that October or November is the prime time to get said maintenance done. Schedule with Key Auto Group and be ahead of the rush, and have your vehicle more than ready.
