Once again this year, Mazda is supporting the Car Safety Month in Canada, which is held throughout the month of October. This initiative aims to help vehicle owners prepare for winter driving.
The long summer drives are over and it's time to give your vehicle some pre-winter maintenance. In particular, to ensure your safety and that of your family when the temperatures are less clement. So here are the most important points to check on your vehicle before the start of the winter season.
The importance of having tires in good condition
Having good winter tires is essential for safe driving as they help to increase traction on icy roads and shorten braking distance by up to 25%. Do not forget to watch the wear of your winter tires, in order to comply with the law. The tread must be at least 1.6 mm thick and in the winter season it is recommended that it be at least 4.8 mm, to ensure better grip on the road. In addition, be sure to make an appointment with our experts today, to avoid the busy weeks preceding the December 1st deadline.
Preparation and maintenance
Take advantage of your tire change appointment to do a general tune-up of your vehicle and prepare it for winter. Ask our experts to check the operation of the windshield wipers and the heating and defroster system, the level of windshield washer fluid, brake and power steering fluid, antifreeze and engine and transmission oil , for example.
Promotion: Tire Event
It's the Mazda tire event and until December 31st, you can save up to $120 on the purchase of a set of four new tires. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
We have your safety at heart at Mazda 2-20 and we invite you to make an appointment today with our experts, in order to prepare your vehicle for the winter season.
