Winter vehicle preparation in Montréal
A Québec winter always finds a vehicle's weak spot, usually on the coldest morning of the year. A fall inspection lets you fix those problems on your schedule, not on the side of the road.
The critical points
Battery cold-cranking capacity, coolant protection, wipers and washer fluid, heating and defrost, brakes, lights and winter tires. Everything that keeps you safe and moving from December to March.
Combine it with your tire change
Winter preparation fits easily into your tire changeover: the wheels are already off, so we inspect brakes and suspension at the same time. One visit, a vehicle ready to go.
What's included
- Battery and charging system test
- Coolant protection measurement
- Wiper and washer check
- Heating and defrost check
- Brake, lighting and tire inspection
Frequently asked questions
When should I do it?
In October or early November, before the first deep freeze and the tire-change rush.
Is rustproofing included?
Not included. We can advise on the right rust protection for your vehicle.
Do I need a block heater?
Not required, but a block heater makes cold starts much easier and reduces engine wear. We can advise you.
