Introduction
Canada’s unique climate puts your vehicle through serious seasonal challenges — from icy roads in the winter to scorching heat in the summer. Without proper maintenance, extreme weather can cause damage to your car’s performance, safety systems, and overall lifespan. That’s why seasonal car care isn’t just a good idea — it’s a necessity.
At Mann Auto Collision Centre, we’re committed to helping Canadian drivers keep their vehicles in peak condition throughout the year. Here’s your complete guide to seasonal vehicle maintenance tips that will save you time, money, and stress.
Winter Car Care Tips: Beat the Cold with Confidence
Canadian winters bring snow, ice, and freezing temperatures that demand extra attention for your vehicle. Install winter tires for better traction and safer braking. Get your battery tested, as cold weather drains power quickly. Top up antifreeze and use winter-grade washer fluid. Don’t forget an emergency kit with essentials like jumper cables and blankets.
Spring Car Maintenance: Time for a Fresh Start
Spring is the time to undo winter’s damage. Wash off road salt to prevent rust, especially underneath. Replace worn wiper blades and clean cabin filters. Have your suspension and alignment checked after pothole season. When temperatures rise above 7°C, switch to all-season tires for improved performance.
Summer Car Care Tips: Protect Your Vehicle from Heat
Hot weather stresses your car’s systems. Make sure your A/C is working efficiently with a seasonal recharge. Monitor tire pressure, as heat expands air and increases blowout risk. Check coolant levels and inspect your radiator. Use sunshades and interior protectants to shield against UV damage.
Fall Vehicle Maintenance: Prepare for the Chill Ahead
Fall is your final chance to prep before winter hits. Inspect tire tread—if it’s below 4mm, it’s time to replace. Replace dim headlights and brake lights for darker evenings. Test your heater and defroster to ensure visibility and comfort. Consider a fluid flush to keep everything running smoothly.
