5 Benefits You Can Expect From A Mobile Auto Glass Service!

Dreading the time it’ll take to get your damaged auto glass repaired?

You probably spend an enormous amount of your time in your vehicle rushing to the work, running errands, carpooling to your children’s activities or more. So, when you notice that irritating chip on your windshield, you might not have the time to drop everything else at once and head to the shop to have it fixed. Especially when the chip is not that distinctly visible to the eyes, it’s only likely that you put off the glass repair to save some time. This decision, however, can cost you in the long run, because the chip can spread into a large crack before you know it, and then you’ll be left with the only choice of replacing the windshield – a relatively expensive undertaking.

Staying Safe While Driving in the Rain

Now that Spring has finally arrived you can expect rain to be in the forecast. Although we take the utmost precaution while driving during the winter months, it’s also very important to be careful while driving through rain. Wet and slippery road conditions can create dangerous situations for motorists.

Heavy rain can cause issues with visibility and you may find that your tires begin to slide when the roads are soaked. If you look outside and it’s a torrential downpour, decide whether or not you need to leave at the exact time. If you have the option to stay home and off the roads until the storm passes, do so.

The Best Time to Switch Your Winter Tires

Once the thermometer reads above 5 degrees most people are itching to get their winter tires off. As the snow continues to melt many individuals are running to the nearest dealership or shop to get their winter tires taken off. However, is their excitement for spring causing them to be premature on removing their snow tires?

Be sure you’re not jumping the gun. Look at the forecast, if snow is in it then you should not be getting your tires removed yet. As Canadians we’re familiar with cold temperatures and snow squalls into April. You do not want to be caught ill prepared when snow begins to fall in late March or early April. Unfortunately as Canadians, this is a reality.

Car Maintenance Checklist

We are the first to complain the minute our car begins to act up. However, are we to blame? Do you keep up with regular car maintenance? This means going beyond your regular oil change to ensure your car is running efficiently.

When you go to have your oil change ask them to check the power steering fluid. It may need topped off. Power steering fluid allows your car’s steering to stay stable. Talk to a technician if you are experiencing any resistance while trying to turn the wheel.

You may experience battery issues in the winter due to extreme cold, however it’s important to know that every 48-60 months your vehicle may require a new battery. The investment of an extended battery life is worth it in the long run!

Spring Cleaning For Your Vehicle

Chances are you haven’t cleaned your car very often this winter. Simply put, it’s too cold outside to spend time vacuuming and washing. So when Spring rolls around and the sun finally comes out of hibernation, it’s time to get your vehicle back in tip top shape!

Begin by getting rid of all the roll up the rim to win cups you’ve been collecting and any other trash that has accumulated in the back seat. After you’ve gotten rid of all the garbage in your car remove any unnecessary clothing or winter gear such as snow brushes. Your car should be empty other than the necessities such as your survival kit, GPS, and other must have accessories.
