Winter car care in PA and OH

Winters in Pennsylvania and Ohio are tough on vehicles. Road salt keeps you safe, but it's rough on paint and metal. Here's how to stay ahead of it.

Wash more, not less

It feels counterintuitive to wash in the cold, but winter is when your car needs it most. Salt accelerates rust — a weekly rinse clears it before it can do damage.

Don't forget the undercarriage

Most salt damage happens underneath, where you can't see it. Look for a wash that flushes the undercarriage and underbody.

Seal the finish

A wash with a protectant or sealant adds a barrier against salt and moisture and keeps that just-washed shine longer.

Make it a habit

An unlimited membership makes winter washing effortless — pull in on your way home and keep salt from settling in.
