We all know that Canadian winters are long and brutal. Weather conditions often have us staying inside, avoiding the outdoors. If we do need to go out, it’s a long routine of bundling up, staying warm and staying safe. As Canadians, we go into full-on “winterize” mode. But this winter, you don’t need to avoid the outdoors. With Toyota, you can also winterize your vehicle so that you can stay warm, safe, and see what Canada has to offer at this time of year.
So, what does “winterize” mean? It means taking all necessary action and precaution to ensure that you are safe this winter, no matter the weather condition. It means regular vehicle maintenance and ensuring that you have all the necessary equipment available in your vehicle. According to the Canada Safety Council, there are several best practices you should consider to be part of your winterizing process.
Having proper winter tires on your vehicle is the most important factor. In the 2019 Canadian Consumer Winter Tire study, 80% of Canadians believe that having the proper winter tires has saved them from being in a potentially hazardous driving situation or serious collision. Winter tires are specifically designed to withstand freezing temperatures and provide grip on icy, wet or snowy terrains. All-season tires do not provide the same protection and can be dangerous in certain winter weather conditions. Goderich Toyota is your top destination for genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories with an expansive selection of winter tires to choose from. The knowledgeable team will help you find the right tires for your vehicle at the best price. Toyota also offers a price match guarantee, so you don’t have to compromise on certified service and parts for price.
