Road trip season is here! Get your vehicle ready!

May 30, 2019 by Peter's Auto Centre

We are so excited for summer to start a.k.a road trip season!! We’re so
looking forward to warm weather and endless sunny days! To make the most of our fun adventures, we make sure our vehicles are inspected and ready for the road. This is an important step for us because cold conditions create car issues. Winters in Ontario are pretty brutal and lonnnng, so we make sure our cars are in top shape before heading out on a long road trip. We definitely don’t want to spend vacation time on the road fixing “surprises” that could’ve been prevented. Doing preventative maintenance is key to enjoy any trip and for being safe on the road.

Contact us today to find out more about getting your vehicle ready for road trips! Our team of professionals will make sure your car is in top shape! Call us at (519) 578-4533 to make an appointment, we would love to help you!

So what do we lookout for when doing an inspection? Here are a few steps we’ll be taking to make sure your vehicle is good to go!

Tire Alignment and Suspension

Winter conditions such as the cold arctic winds we had this winter affect the suspensions and the alignment of tires by causing irregular tread wear. If you notice that your car is pulling more on one side when driving, this means we need to realign your tires.

Awesome Car Accessories & Products To Keep Your Eye On

April 16, 2019 by Peter's Auto Centre

Nowadays it’s so easy to upgrade your ride and make your life a lot easier on the road. There are so many gadgets to choose from, which is really awesome! These products are also a great gift option for any driver!

Phone Charger & Mount:

I’ve lost count how many times I left home with my phone nearly dead. Which is always a bummer since I need it for either playing podcasts, hands free calls etc… The Hudly 10 W Wireless Charger & Mount is a life saver. First of all, it’s the kind of charger that actually charges your phone. Not just a silly 5% charge, but an actual full charge. This also doubles up as a phone mount which is useful and super easy to install.

Winter Car Problems? Here are the common issues most drivers experience!

February 21, 2019 by Peter's Auto Centre

Thickening Fuel & Levels

When temperature drops below zero, transmission fluid, oil and antifreeze will probably thicken. This can easily be avoided by starting up your engine 10 minutes before you leave. By doing that, you’ll help warm up the fluids. We also recommend keeping a close eye on the fluid levels, most drivers tend to overuse the antifreeze fluids and forget to maintain the recommended levels. After your car is warmed up, make sure to clear your entire car of ice, snow or dirt which could affect your visibility. Having a good old ice scraper and brush in your car will make this process that much faster.

Keep Car Battery Alive Through Canadian Winters!

February 11, 2019 by Peter's Auto Centre

The little powerful box known as the battery has quite the responsibility, it’s the heart and soul of a vehicle. It’s main job is to provide source of electrical current to the motor. Without the power of the battery, the vehicle won’t start.

What’s the average life of a battery?

This depends on a few factors, such as extreme cold temperatures, driving style and the temperature under the hood. In average, a battery will last anywhere between 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately, we’ve seen batteries that were damaged or failed before that time.
