What we'd do to our own cars
Full protection & peace of mind
Here's what a proper winter setup looks like. These aren't stock photos - these are real customer vehicles we've prepped over the years.
Summer performance tires, worn brake pads, old battery. Owner thought AWD was enough - learned the hard way when he couldn't stop at a red light.
Michelin Pilot Alpin winter tires, new brakes, fresh battery, full alignment. Handles Calgary snow like it's supposed to. Owner's happy, we're happy.
After two Calgary winters with no protection. Surface rust starting, salt buildup everywhere. This is what happens when you skip undercoating.
Professional undercoating applied. Won't stop 100% of corrosion but massively slows it down. Worth every penny if you're keeping the car long-term.
Every winter, we get customers who come in after something breaks. "I didn't think it'd get that cold" or "I was gonna do it next week." Look, I get it - nobody wants to spend money on maintenance. But here's the reality:
We hit -30°C or colder almost every winter. Your European luxury car was probably designed in Germany where it barely drops below -10°C. Different game entirely.
A $649 winter prep package vs. a $3,500 engine repair because your coolant froze? Or $800 for a tow and new battery at 2am on Stoney Trail? Do the math.
Your AMG or M-Sport isn't just fast - it's engineered for precise handling. Summer tires in snow ruins that. Winter prep maintains the performance you paid for.
15+ years specializing in European vehicles in Calgary winters. We know what fails, when it fails, and how to prevent it. That experience is baked into every package we offer.
