As the cold winter weather rolls into Alberta, preparing your vehicle for icy roads becomes a top priority. Every responsible driver knows that Winter Tires Checked is at the very top of the autumn maintenance checklist.

A Few Practical Tips Before Your Appointment
- Book early. Shops fill fast from mid-October onward. The longer you wait, the worse the availability and the worse the road conditions on the day you finally go.
- Check tread depth yourself first. If you are below roughly 4/32″, those winter tires are due for replacement, not just a swap. Knowing this before you arrive saves a second trip.
- Bring your wheel lock key. Forgetting it is the single most common reason an appointment gets rebooked.
- Line up your ride in advance. Pre-book your cab for both the drop-off and the pick-up so you are not waiting in a cold parking lot at the end of the day.
- Ask about storage. Many shops will store your off-season set, which means you are not hauling four tires home in a taxi.
