IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! Time to be checking lights, wipers, washers, tires, coolants and heating/defrost systems. Time to get ready for darker commutes with rain , fog and the general BC fall weather. Tires must be marked M&S or Mountain and snowflake to be legal. Speaking of legal even though M&S is legal it's far from safest in ice and snow. Also it may be legal but if almost worn out it's an accident waiting to happen. Remember to leave a little extra stopping space on the wet roads.
To our EV and Hybrid customers you need a fall/winter service check also. Same lights, wipers, tires and heaters apply. You to have coolants that needs to be tested. When was the last time was your drive motor lubricants were checked or changed. Have you checked the air filters in the battery cooling system lately. Does your vehicle have a cabin air filter? Has it been replaced or checked?
Something to keep in mind; it's just as easy to fill the top half of a fuel tank as it is to fill the bottom half. Fill to top half and you have a far better margin if stopped in traffic during a snow event.
Have a safe and happy fall/winter season.
