As the change of seasons approaches, winter in Canada is inevitable, and with it comes the challenge of icy roads and cold temperatures. Now is the perfect time for drivers to take proactive steps in preparing their vehicles for the colder months ahead. Winter breakdowns and slippery conditions can pose serious risks, so it’s always wise to prepare your rig for the worst before the snow starts to fall.

• Cooling system
• Compressed air systems
• Diesel systems
• Fuel filters and water separators
