Winter in Toronto can be tough on vehicles. Road salt, used to melt snow and ice, is a necessary part of winter road maintenance but it can also be a car’s worst enemy. Keeping your car clean during the cold months isn’t just about maintaining its appearance—it’s crucial for its longevity and safety.
Salt and other chemicals used on icy roads can lead to rust and corrosion on a vehicle’s body and undercarriage.
Additionally, the accumulation of salt and grime can lead to pitting and damage to your wheels. Alloy rims, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion which not only tarnishes the appearance but can also affect the tire’s seal, leading to slow air leaks and flat tires.
Moreover, dirt and salt buildup on your car can obscure key features like headlights, taillights, and license plates, reducing visibility and safety on the road.
So, while it might seem counterintuitive to wash your car during the wet and cold season, regular cleaning is essential. It protects your investment, ensures your safety, and keeps your car functioning well. Emery Village car washes offer the care and services needed to combat winter’s harsh effects, making them a vital resource for any car owner looking to prolong the life and performance of their vehicle.
