Is your windshield washer fluid truly antifreeze?

In the middle of January, a dirty windshield can become dangerous in seconds. Slush, salt, splashes... Visibility is critical.

But be careful: not all windshield washer fluids are created equal. Some freeze at -20°C, while others withstand temperatures as low as -40°C.

Check the bottle: The temperature rating must be suitable for our Quebec winters. Finding fluid that freezes in the reservoir or on the windshield is the worst possible time to ... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile
SAAQ Inspection: What You Need to Know Before You Come
Need a mandatory mechanical inspection? Here's how it works at Alex Tire and Mechanics.

Our approach: We clearly explain what passes and what doesn't. If repairs are needed, you understand why—and you decide.

Post-Thaw Potholes: Your Suspension Takes a Hit

The January freeze-thaw cycle creates craters on the Plateau's roads. Every impact is felt on your shock absorbers, ball joints, and suspension arms.

Signs that something has failed:
- Thumping or clunking noises over bumps
- Vehicle pulling to one side
- Steering less precise than before
- Uneven tire wear

After hitting a large pothole, a quick inspection can save you from more expensive repairs. We know the roads in this neighborhood—and the d... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile

Squeaky brakes in the cold: normal or worrying?

Have you noticed a slight squeaking noise when braking these icy mornings? Don't panic – it's often normal.

Moisture freezes on the brake discs overnight, creating a thin layer of frost or surface rust. The first few times you brake will remove it, and the noise will disappear.

However, consult a professional if:
- The squeaking persists after a few braking maneuvers
- You hear a high-pitched metallic squeal
- The brake pedal feels soft or spong... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile

De-icing salt: your vehicle's silent enemy

In January, the roads of the Plateau are generously salted. Good for traction, not so good for your car.

The salt seeps everywhere: under the body, in the wheel wells, on brake and suspension components. Over time, corrosion sets in—often without you even noticing.

Our advice: Rinsing your undercarriage every 2-3 weeks in winter makes all the difference. And if you haven't yet had your vehicle rustproofed, it's not too late.

At Alex Tire and Mechani... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile

How often should you check your tire pressure in cold weather?

In cold weather, tire pressure can drop rapidly, sometimes by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 psi to 5 psi) for every 10°C drop in temperature. This loss affects handling, tire wear, and even fuel consumption.

It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month during the winter, and before long trips or after significant temperature changes. Checks should be performed on cold tires, meaning when the vehicle has not been driven f... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile
Battery Health Reminders and Signs It Might Soon Fail

The battery plays a vital role in starting the engine and powering the vehicle's electrical systems. Over time, it naturally loses capacity, and certain signs can help you anticipate a failure before it occurs. Recognizing these signs early avoids many stressful situations, especially during cold weather when the battery is already under considerable strain.

The first warning sign is a slower-than-usual start. If the engine seems to hesitat... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile
Why do engines struggle to start in cold weather?

When the cold weather sets in, it's not uncommon for engines to be slow to start. Several factors explain this difficulty. First, engine oil becomes thicker at low temperatures. It circulates more slowly, and the engine has to work harder to get going. This is sometimes enough to slow down, or even prevent, starting.

The battery is also weakened by the cold. Its power naturally drops as temperatures fall because internal chemical reactions slow... Continue reading on our Google Business Profile

We’re proud to be one of the last remaining mechanical workshops on the Plateau Mont-Royal – a trusted landmark for thousands of customers over the past 45 years.

What sets us apart is our human approach, our local roots and our transparency.
