How Sub-Zero Temperatures Can Turn Small Leaks into Big Problems

When temperatures drop well below zero, your vehicle works a lot harder than you might realize. Cold weather causes metal and rubber components to contract, which can expose small weaknesses in hoses, seals, gaskets, and fluid lines. What might be a barely noticeable seep in warmer weather can quickly turn into a leak when everything tightens up in extreme cold. Coolant, oil, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid are especially vulnerable during sub-zero conditions.

The real problem is that these small leaks often go unnoticed until they lead to bigger issues, overheating, steering problems, poor shifting, or even engine damage. A mid-winter vehicle checkup can catch these issues early, before a minor repair turns into a costly breakdown. At AMR Automotive, our experienced technicians know exactly what to look for during Alberta’s coldest months. If you want peace of mind and a vehicle that stays reliable all winter long, book a checkup with AMR Automotive today.
