🌡️🛞 THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 7°C!

Think winter tires are only for snow? Think again!
As temperatures consistently drop to around 7°C and below, the rubber compounds in winter tires are designed to stay flexible in the cold. That can help provide better traction, braking and control as the weather gets colder.

❄️ Winter tires are about temperature — not just snow.

And remember, your winter tires need to be ready for the season too. Before installing them, check:
🛞 Tread depth
💨 Tire pressure
🔍 Cracks, damage or uneven wear
📅 Tire age and overall condition

Don’t wait until the forecast calls for the first big snowfall and everyone is scrambling for an appointment!

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS, IT’S TIME TO START THINKING WINTER TIRES.

📍 30 Hayes Ave • 519-821-8880
📍 41 Woodlawn Rd W • 519-821-1888

❄️🛞 WE’RE OPEN SATURDAYS FOR WINTER TIRE SEASON! (8 Weeks)

Winter tire season is here, and we know how busy the weekdays can get. That’s why our Hayes Avenue location is open Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM during the seasonal rush!

Whether you need your winter tires installed, balanced, checked over, or you’re looking for a new set, we’re here to help get your vehicle ready before the snow starts flying.

📅 SATURDAY HOURS: 8 AM – 1 PM
📍 30 Hayes Ave, Guelph
📞 519-821-8880

Appointments can fill up quickly once the temperatures drop, so beat the rush and get your winter tires taken care of early! 🌨️

And remember — winter tires aren’t just for snow. Once temperatures are consistently around 7°C and below, it’s time to start thinking about making the switch.

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that our entire Vinnie’s Mr Fixit family sends our deepest, most heartfelt sympathy to Steve’s family, his friends, and everyone at Lost Aviator. 🤍🕊️

Steve, finding the words to say goodbye feels impossible. Your loss leaves an emptiness that words cannot fill, and our hearts ache for everyone who knew and loved you. You will be dearly missed and remembered with so much love.

To your family, we know that no message can ease the pain of losing someone so precious. Please know that we are holding you close in our hearts as you face the days ahead. We hope that, in time, the memories that bring tears today will also bring moments of comfort—a familiar story, a photograph, or the memory of his laughter that makes him feel close again.

To your Lost Aviator family and the wider aviation community, we share in your sadness. A loss like this reaches far beyond one home or one workplace, touching the hearts of so many people who now have to find a way to say goodbye.

From our Vinnie’s Mr Fixit family to yours, please accept our love, our deepest condolences, and our heartfelt wish that you find strength in one another. We will be thinking of you through the difficult days ahead, and long after, when your loss is still deeply felt.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Steve. You will be dearly missed. 🤍✈️🕊️

With love and deepest sympathy,
Vinnie, Kimberley, and the entire Vinnie’s Mr Fixit family 🤍

🍂🚗 FALL ROADS CAN HIDE A FEW SURPRISES!

There’s nothing quite like a beautiful fall drive, colourful trees, crisp air and leaves covering the road.

But sometimes those leaves are covering more than just pavement. 👀
🍂 Potholes
🍂 Curbs
🍂 Road debris
🍂 Uneven pavement
🍂 Other unexpected hazards
You can’t control what’s hiding around the next corner, but you can make sure your vehicle is ready to handle it.
🛞 Tires — good tread and proper pressure
🔧 Steering — responsive and predictable
⚙️ Suspension — helping keep your tires planted
🛑 Brakes — ready when you need them
If you hit a nasty pothole or something suddenly doesn’t feel right afterward, don’t ignore it. A quick inspection can help catch problems before they become bigger ones.

YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE ROAD.
YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS READY FOR IT.

🥊🔋 ROUND ONE: BATTERY VS. COLD WEATHER!

Your battery has been cruising through summer without much of a fight… but Cold Morning is stepping into the ring! ❄️🥊

A battery that seemed perfectly fine during warm weather can start showing signs of weakness as temperatures drop. Keep an eye, and an ear, out for the warning signs:
🔑 Slow cranking when you turn the key
⚡ Clicking sounds instead of starting
💡 Dim or flickering lights
🔋 An older battery that may be nearing the end of its life

The best time to discover a weak battery is beforeyou’re standing beside a car that won’t start on a cold morning.

We can test your battery and charging system and help you know where things stand before winter arrives.

🥊 LET’S MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY CAN GO THE DISTANCE!

👻🚗 DON’T LET YOUR CAR GHOST YOU!

Everything seems fine… until one morning your car decides it’s just not showing up for you anymore.😱

The good news? Vehicles often give us a few hints before they leave us stranded.

👻 Slow starts? Your battery or starting system may need attention.

🔊 Strange noises? Your car might be telling you something has changed.

⚠️ Warning lights? They’re there for a reason — don’t ignore them.

💧 New leaks or smells? Worth investigating before they become bigger problems.

You don’t have to be a mechanic to notice when something feels different. You drive your vehicle every day — you know when something isn’t quite right.

🔧 A little attention now can help prevent an inconvenient surprise later.

This October, don’t let your car disappear when you need it most.

DON’T LET YOUR CAR GHOST YOU! 👻

🚗💧 “MY CAR DOESN’T LEAK… IT MARKS ITS TERRITORY!”

Funny excuse. Not-so-funny problem. 😂

If you’ve noticed a new puddle underneath your vehicle, your car might be trying to tell you something. The colour, location and type of fluid can offer some clues:
🟢 Coolant — may indicate a cooling-system leak
🟤 Engine Oil — could mean a seal, gasket or other component needs attention
🔴 Transmission/other fluid — worth having investigated
💧 Clear water — often just normal condensation from your A/C

The important thing is knowing what’s normal and what isn’t.

If your vehicle has suddenly started “marking its territory,” don’t just move to another parking spot and pretend you didn’t see it. 😂

🔧 See a new puddle? Let’s find out what it is.

⛽🚗 IS YOUR CAR SUDDENLY THIRSTIER?

Does it seem like your vehicle has been visiting the gas station a little more often lately?

If your fuel economy has changed, your car may be trying to tell you something. And before assuming there’s a major problem, sometimes it’s worth checking the basics first.

🛞 Low tire pressure can increase rolling resistance
🌬️ A dirty air filter may affect performance on some vehicles
🔧 Overdue maintenance can contribute to poor efficiency
🚗 Driving habits like excessive idling and hard acceleration use more fuel
⚠️ Mechanical problems can also cause fuel economy to drop
Sometimes a little attention can help your vehicle run better and make every tank go a little further.

🥞⛽ YOUR CAR SHOULDN’T NEED A SECOND BREAKFAST!

If your vehicle seems a little thirstier than usual, bring it by Vinnie’s and let’s find out why.
