The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Reduces the risk of vehicle breakdown
Optimizes vehicle performance in towing situations
Improves fuel efficiency
Ensures safer holidays
Leaving on vacation without having your vehicle
inspected by a qualified technician could dramatically
increase the cost of your trip – not to mention your
stress level.

Your technician will first check your vehicle's fluids: Motor oil to protect the engine from wear due to friction, engine coolant for protection against excessive heat, and transmission and brake fluids.

Clogged air, oil, fuel and transmission fluid filters can affect the performance of your vehicle. Spark plugs wear out, which can jeopardize engine start-up as well as increase fuel consumption and pollution. Belts, hoses and clamps become worn or loose (the most frequent cause of stalling), endangering every systems they supply. Obviously, brakes must be in perfect working order. The CV shafts or U-joints, gas cap, radiator and cap, battery and cables, tires - including the spare, lighting, wipers and cabin air filter (which purifies the air inside your vehicle) also need to be inspected.

Don't risk ruining your vacation. For your own peace of mind, make sure you're ready for the road!
