Ways to Protect Your Car from Salt Corrosion

With all the snow that’s been falling everywhere, the road crews have been busy throwing salt everywhere. In addition to always being available, salt is the most cost-effective de-icer, but it can do a lot of damage when it gets on your vehicle. Our professionals at Honda of Ames want you to be an informed driver who is ready for winter.

As much as some of us hate going through the car wash in the winter, it’s important to wash your car about once a week to keep off the salt. Try to wash your vehicle during the day time before the temperatures get too cold. After washing, always make sure your windows and door will open and close freely and aren’t frozen. Avoid driving through rain puddles or heavy snow.

Stop at our showroom in Ames for some helpful winter tips and take a vehicle out for a test drive.
