Fellow Edmonton motorists:

Although it is tempting to try and drive around these obstacles on our roads, it’s not advisable. Swirving to avoid potholes can lead to collision with the curb or worse yet another vehicle. Both can result in costly repair and sometimes body injury.

Over a period of time, driving over these potholes can indeed cause accelerated wear & damage to suspension parts, which leads to increased repair bills. One way to try and lessen the damage is to make sure that your tire pressure is properly inflated.

For Acura Honda & Toyota vehicles ( The vehicles that we service ). We suggest that the tire pressure be inflated as follows:

• 32 psi or 220Kpa for light load ( 1 to 2 occupants)
• 36 psi or 246Kpa for loaded   ( 3 or more occupants).

 The good news is you can prevent this from happening to you.

 In the extreme weather we experience in Edmonton, the status of your car’s battery must be assessed and, if needed, conditioned or, in the worst case, replaced. As a auto repair shop service provider for Acura and Honda vehicles for over 30 years, I have some insights to share with you that can keep you out of trouble this coming Winter.

Here’s the problem: New vehicle designs have increasingly put a higher demand on the battery’s electrical supply, yet the battery’s design has remained relatively unchanged in size and capacity. Therefore, to travel safely in the Great White North, you must keep your battery fully charged. You simply don’t have as much leeway as those folks driving in milder climates.

 The four main reasons your car or truck battery might fail to start your vehicle are:

1. Battery low in charge.
2. Battery post loose, corroded, or both.
3. Battery worn-out (in service for too long).
4. Battery internal failure (lower percentage)

Sometimes these conditions are interconnected. One failure can lead to another.  For instance, a loose battery post connection (Condition #2.) will lead to low charge and eventually lead to a NO START problem.

 Although Conditions 3. and 4. require battery replacement, the good news is that a high percentage of  NO START problems in sub zero weather are simply caused by condition #1 (Battery low in charge). You can prevent low charge and also extend your car or truck battery’s service life by using a battery charger to do an overnight charge.

 Caution: Improper hook up of battery charger can cause damage to vehicles electrical and computer system. In some cases, improper battery charger connections can cause explosions.
