Winter in Quebec is beautiful, but it can also be harsh on your vehicle. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can take a toll on your car if it’s not properly prepared. At Auto Medic, we want to make sure your car is winter-ready so you can drive safely and confidently through the cold months.
Cold weather can cause your car’s battery to lose power quickly. A weak battery is one of the top reasons cars break down in winter. Have your battery tested to ensure it’s in good condition, and replace it if necessary.
Winter tires are designed to handle snow and ice, providing better traction and control. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have enough tread to keep you safe. Don’t wait until the first snowstorm to make the switch!
Braking can become more difficult on icy or snowy roads, so make sure your brake pads and rotors are in top shape. We recommend getting your brakes checked before the first freeze to ensure they’re ready for winter driving.
Antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, and motor oil are all crucial during winter. Ensure your antifreeze levels are topped up, as it helps prevent the engine from freezing. Also, make sure your windshield wiper fluid is rated for cold weather and fill it up for those slushy, salty road conditions.
Winter conditions can be tough on your wiper blades, so make sure they’re in good shape before the first snow falls. If your wipers are leaving streaks or missing spots, it’s time for a replacement.
Salt and grime on the roads can build up on your car and cause corrosion. Regularly wash your car during the winter months to prevent salt from eating away at your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage.
Winter driving can be unpredictable. Make sure your car is stocked with an emergency kit that includes items like a blanket, gloves, non-perishable snacks, a flashlight, jumper cables, and a scraper for your windshield.
