Since the 1930's, salt has been used to ensure safe passage and adequate traction and handling on slick, snowy or icy roads. While road salt is certainly a beneficial application in this respect, it can also cause a significant amount of damage to your car. At A-1 Auto Sales, we're excited to share two easy ways for Winchester drivers to avoid the many problems that salt exposure can cause.

Wash Your Car At Least Once Every 10 Days

One of the easiest ways to minimize the effects of exposure to road salt is by washing your car at least once every 10 days. When you do, make sure that your car is completely dry before freezing temperatures are reached. Winter car washes are best performed during the middle of the day.

Avoid Snow Accumulations That Can Expedite Corrosion

?Road salt will do the most damage when it is paired with excess moisture. This makes it important to avoid driving over large, deep banks of snow that can get trapped in the vehicle's undercarriage.
