Seasonal Maintenance Tips for Saskatchewan Drivers

• Winter (October – March): Switch to winter-rated tires, check battery cold-cranking amps, test your block heater, and ensure your defroster and heater work properly.
• Spring (April – May): Swap to all-season or summer tires, inspect for winter-related underbody damage, check A/C performance, and replace wiper blades.
• Summer (June – September): Monitor coolant levels closely, test the cooling system before long road trips, and check tire pressure more frequently in extreme heat.
