While there\u2019s a lot to enjoy about a Canadian winter (like the sports and the holidays), there\u2019s also a lot that needs to be taken into consideration and prepared for. Winter can be especially tough on our cars. That\u2019s why we need to do everything we can to help prepare our vehicles for the oncoming chill. A-Protect<\/em><\/strong> wants to ensure that your car is running it\u2019s best for this year\u2019s snowy season.<\/p>\n

Check out this list of five ways you can prepare your car for the great Canadian winter:
\n <\/p>\n

1. Winter tires <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always a safe idea to have winter tires installed. You can tell which ones are winter tires by identifying the snowflake symbol on the side of the rubber. You\u2019ll need to make sure that the tires have a tread of at least 3.5mm, no matter the size of your vehicle. It\u2019s also important to be sure you\u2019re using four matched winter tires.There are so many reasons to switch to winter tires, especially if you\u2019re driving regularly or if you drive outside of the city. They\u2019ll provide a much better traction on ice, which can be a serious safety concern this time of year.Always ensure your tires are at the proper air pressure, which can easily decrease during the winter months.

2. Rust protection <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The salt on the roads can be a killer to the exterior of your car. Rust forms on your car when water and air come together to form a crust on the exterior. Due to this, you\u2019ll want to prepare your car ahead of the season and protect it\u2019s exterior from developing the rust caused by road salts. The best way to prevent this from happening is by having the body of your car oiled annually with a rustproofing spray. There are even automotive shops all across Ontario who specialize in rustproofing.

3. Prevention with lubrication <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Properly lubricating certain parts of your car is an easy way to help prevent a number of ugly winter-weather related car issues. Make sure to properly lube window tracks, the hood latch, and all of your locks and door hinges. Use a spray to cover window tracks in silicone or even dry Teflon. Make sure to be prepared with silicone spray, lithium grease spray, and a Teflon lubricant spray before you begin the project of properly lubricating your car for the winter.
\n <\/p>\n

4. Windshield woes <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before winter fully arrives make sure you\u2019ve checked that your windshield wipers are in working order. Hail, snow and all matter of slush can really harm your windshield and it\u2019s wipers. So it\u2019s very important that you make an effort to keep them clean as the season progresses. Your wipers are an important tool against accidents, so make sure everything works great. Also, make sure you have a windshield scraper in your trunk at all times. You never know when the first snowfall will hit, and nobody likes using their sleeve to clear their windshields and windows. The scraper itself is also an imperative tool against the formation of ice.
\n <\/p>\n

5. Remote starters <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of our favorite toys Santa Claus can bring are remote starters. They are a great way to get your car warmed up from a safe distance, saving you time and making sure you don\u2019t freeze while you wait. There\u2019s a good range of remote starters on the market, and none of them are really going to set you back that much more than a couple hundred bucks. Another great thing about remote starters is that they are the perfect holiday present for anyone who has a car. Amazon<\/a> has a pretty impressive selection of remote starters to choose from!<\/p>\n

While there are plenty of ways to get your vehicle ready for winter, these are our five favorite! So follow A-Protect\u2019s <\/em>above list to prepare your car for the winter. You\u2019ll definitely appreciate it once the snow starts to hit the asphalt.
