All four seasons in Lethbridge, Taber and Southern Alberta are harsh for your vehicle. From the heat and harsh UV light of summer to the cold snow and ice in winter. And wow, could we forget the wind? That wind carries dust and other harsh particulates that can do damage to your paint and glass, whether your vehicle is moving or parked. How do you protect it?Â
Shade
First, whenever possible, keep your vehicle out of the sun, rain, snow and wind by parking in a garage. Most vehicles spend the majority of their time sitting, not driving, so parking in the shade when it’s not in use helpful.
No Trees please
Next, avoid parking under trees so you don’t get sap, leaves, branches and acidic bird droppings on your vehicle. We know it’s shade, but we’ve seen vehicles that need major paint correction because of being parked under trees.
Interior UV
To help protect your interior, consider a high-quality window tint and a folding screen for your windshield to reflect the heat and light out of the vehicle. Not only will your vehicle interior stay cooler, but it will last longer and be less prone to UV damage.Â
Spray-in Bedliner
If you have a truck, off-road vehicle, RV or Trailer, protect it with spray-in bedliner. No longer just black, we offer several colours to choose from. Protect your bumpers, fenders or even your whole vehicle.Â
Watch out!
Finally, watch where you park so you can avoid door dings, inattentive parkers and rogue skateboards.
