Ah yes, Winter. Every Calgarian's favourite season to either love or hate. The smell of pine, cozy homes, warm beverages, outdoor winter activities, and slush. Lots and lots of slush - and salt. A perfect combination for getting your car dirty. This means having to clean more often, so anything you can do to make the cleaning easier is a huge help. This is exactly why we have come up with a few tips to expedite the process. Enjoy and stay warm!

Well, that time has finally come, and the carbon tax has officially come into effect as of January 1st, 2017.

If you still have not purchased your new winter tires for this season, the good news is that there are still many discounts and rebates available from several manufacturers.

So you have just passed your driving test and are ready to be let loose on the roads - it’s time to get down to the local dealer and get your first car! These new wheels will become your pride and joy, but keeping a car in top condition is no easy ride.
