Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter with Confidence at Christin Automobile

As autumn settles in and the weather begins to cool, it’s the perfect time to schedule car maintenance and have your winter tires installed.

Making sure your vehicle is in good working order before the severe winter weather typical of Québec arrives ensures both safety and peace of mind.

At Christin Automobile, we offer Certified Service, unrivalled expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to help you prepare your car for the season ahead.

Fall Maintenance

As winter approaches, it’s essential to pay special attention to your vehicle. Our factory-trained Certified Service technicians know exactly what your car needs.

They’ll be able to recommend the necessary interventions with complete transparency, while clearly explaining the options available, so you can make informed decisions with complete confidence.

Every year, our experts undergo approximately 100 hours of training to keep up to date with the latest technologies and maintenance solutions.

During this routine maintenance, our technicians carry out a complete check of your vehicle, including mechanical check, brake, battery, wipers, heating and defrosting systems. They can also check fluids.

Consequently, fall maintenance can detect and resolve any potential problems before winter sets in. To prevent complications, we are committed to carrying out all repairs using genuine GM parts, guaranteeing the reliability and optimum performance of your Chevrolet, Buick or GMC.

Changing Your Oil Before Winter

Cold winter weather can have an important impact on your engine’s performance. That’s why appropriate lubrication is essential to protect your vehicle.

Oil plays a crucial role in reducing wear and tear, maintaining maximum fuel efficiency and improving overall engine performance, especially in winter when cold temperatures can thicken fluids and impair engine efficiency and reliability.

Thanks to their expertise, our technicians can advise you on the type of oil and oil filter best suited to your vehicle, in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the requirements of winter conditions.

This attention to detail will extend the life of your engine, ensure optimum protection and trouble-free starting, and prevent potentially costly breakdowns when outside temperatures drop.

Installing Winter Tires

In Québec, by law, you must change summer tires and replace them with winter tires by December 1. As soon as temperatures drop below 7°C, summer tires lose their effectiveness and no longer offer the grip required for driving on icy or wet roads.

To ensure your safety on the road and avoid busy periods in garages, it’s advisable not to wait for the first snow or this deadline to have your winter tires installed.

Winter tires are specially designed for optimum traction on icy or snow-covered surfaces. Their softer rubber and deep groove patterns help you avoid skidding and keep control of your vehicle, even in the most difficult conditions.

Before each installation, it’s important to check tire wear; a worn tire will lose much of its pulling power, thus increasing the risk of an accident.

At Christin Automobile, our Certified Service experts are trained to examine the tread depth and general condition of your current tires. So, if necessary, they can recommend new tires to ensure maximum grip on winter roads.

We offer a wide selection of winter tires from the best brands on the market, at the best prices guaranteed, so you can drive with peace of mind, knowing that your tires are suitable for the harsh conditions of a Québec winter.
