Road salt, snow and slush can collect on your vehicle’s undercarriage during Calgary winters. Salt and moisture encourage corrosion on exposed metal, including exhaust components and brake lines.
Why the underside needs attention
Salt can accumulate in gaps and hard-to-reach areas. When moisture remains against metal, corrosion can develop and weaken components over time. Brake-line corrosion is particularly important because these lines are part of the braking system.
Cleaning and inspection
Rinsing the undercarriage can help remove road-salt residue. An inspection before or after winter is an opportunity to check for visible corrosion and discuss any leaks or brake concerns.
If you are concerned about undercarriage or brake-line corrosion, request an inspection with AMR Automotive in southeast Calgary or call 403-243-2483.
