The faster life gets the more neglected our vehicles seem
to get – sad but true.
Especially sad because when you consider the investment we
have in our vehicles and how much we depend on them, you realize
that most of us really take them for granted. There are several
compelling reasons why caring for your vehicle is so important
and we believe that our simple tips can help you at least
provide basic care.
Please consider first and foremost SAFETY, followed by VEHICLE
PERFORMANCE, VEHICLE APPEARANCE, RESALE VALUE, ETC.

TIP #1
SAFETY FIRST - TIRE PRESSURE
Why would anyone venture onto a busy highway without
first CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE? Would you be able to bring
your vehicle to a safe stop if you blew a tire at 100km
per hour? Not many of us could, especially in bad weather
or when negotiating a turn. Check your tire pressure!
It’s the very least you can do to protect
yourself, your family and others.

TIP #2
SAFETY FIRST - GASOLINE IN YOUR TANK
Running out of gasoline is bad news if you’re
a few blocks from home and a disaster if you run out
of gasoline on a busy highway or on your way to a special
function, like taking a child to a hockey or soccer
game. By filling up with gasoline when you get to
half a tank instead of near empty you ensure your
safety and arrival to your special events on time.

TIP
#3 WINTER DRIVING TIPS
ALLOW MORE DISTANCE FOR SAFE STOPPING.
EVEN WITH ANTI-LOCK
Don't let anti-lock brakes give you a false sense of
confidence. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
SCRAPE BEFORE YOU DRIVE.
Clear all windows, don't just clear a peep-hole. Make
sure you can see.
NO SUDDEN MOVES
Sudden acceleration, braking or turns can cause trouble
on winter roads. Drive with care.
