How Do You Get Your Car Ready For Winter?
Canadian winters are no joke. Wind, snow and ice can combine with quickly shifting conditions to make driving in the winter treacherous.

Swap Out Your Summer Tires For Winter Tires
One of the most cost-effective things you can do to stay safe on slippery Ontario roads is to have your vehicle equipped with a proper set of winter tires. We cannot overstate how much better winter tires perform when the conditions deteriorate. If you haven’t purchased winter tires yet, our team can find you the perfect set to keep you safe and secure behind the wheel.
Seasonal Windshield Wipers & Fluid
Obviously, dealing with snow and ice is different than dealing with rain. Safety experts already recommend changing your windshield wipers every six months or so. But, this time of year, it’s wise to seek out wiper blades that are rated to deal with snow- and ice-covered windshields. The rubber blades use a different kind of rubber that are more suited for breaking through iced-over windshields.
Additionally, the fluid that you use to clean your windshield should be looked at. There are some formulations that are designed to stay fluid in the coldest temperatures.
Check Headlights & Taillights
A lack of daylight in the winter is a hallmark of the season. Ensuring your headlights and taillights are in working order is imperative to safe driving. Replacing them isn’t terribly difficult, but our service department can easily handle this for you if necessary.
You can take care of all of these tasks and more when you make an appointment with the Cambridge Centre Honda Service Department.
