It’s the best way to stay on top of your vehicle’s health but it can also prove valuable if a warranty issue arises and proof of maintenance is required to obtain warranty service. 

Your vehicle's battery is an extremely important component. It must remain in good condition to withstand harsh cold or extreme heat. A simple battery check can prevent you from being stranded in an empty parking lot. Most car batteries last between three to five years.

Temperature changes can affect tire pressure. Having the proper tire pressure will maximize your gas mileage and save wear and tear on your seasonal tires!

Tires naturally degrade over time – and driving with insufficient tread depth or sidewall damage can be hazardous. Do a Toonie test to check if your tires are safe for driving.

Don't wait until small chips lead to costly repairs down the road! Parking your car directly in the sun is one of the fastest ways for a crack to grow. If a chip grows too much, windshield repair may no longer be an option, and your windshield may need to be replaced. 

As a general rule, you should change your oil at least twice yearly. Remember that driving habits and temperatures can affect how quickly oil degrades. Most newer cars have oil monitoring systems, so your vehicle will track usage and oil conditions, signalling when you need a change. If you have an older vehicle, check the owner’s manual or factory maintenance schedule for information on maintenance schedules.

Deep cleaning of your car’s interior prevents dust from causing wear and tear and removes stubborn stains from your dashboards, mats or leather seats. When your vehicle is deep cleaned, a lot of debris is removed, improving the air quality inside the vehicle. Clean airflow and the absence of garbage in a car help drivers and passengers enjoy a germ-free environment. If you ever wish to sell your car, potential buyers will see how well cared for it is.   

A Mobile Battery Service appointment will not count as an allotted roadside assistance service call should a battery be purchased and installed.
