Rust can cause serious damage to your vehicle. Most often, this oxidation problem occurs under your vehicle, affecting its solidity and the life cycle of its parts. However, there are a few ways to prevent rust from forming or slow its progression. For starters, you can park your vehicle in a heated garage and leave it to dry in the sun after washing it. Whether you follow these recommendations or not, it is also important to have your vehicle rustproofed once a year, depending on the type of rustproofing used. Rustproofing gives your vehicle a protective coating. The anticorrosive products and ingredients protect your vehicle against moisture, acting as a barrier. It is a worthwhile investment especially considering it extends the life of your vehicle.

Brake maintenance ensures safe braking. Your brake’s life cycle is extended thanks to regular maintenance. We recommend having your car's brakes checked at least twice a year.

Wheel balancing distributes the weight of the wheels and tires as they rotate. Since they reach a high rotational speed and are subjected to high centrifugal forces, balancing them is essential to ensure your comfort behind the wheel. To extend their life cycle, have wheels balanced every 20,000 km, as well as any time a tire needs to be repaired, replaced or installed. Over and above these general recommendations, it’s important to contact your service advisor as soon as you detect one of the issues that lead to wheel imbalance. There are some warning signs when a tire and wheel assembly is not balanced.

Tire rotation is essential to maximize your tires’ life cycle. This service also ensures even tread wear. The result? You save money by changing your tires less often.

It also helps prevent failures or breakdowns requiring the towing of your vehicle. Aligning the wheels on your vehicle involves adjusting the wheel angle to prevent premature wear and reduce tire friction. This makes for a more stable, pleasant and safer drive.
