Social media is full of creative car hacks, but not every viral idea is safe for your vehicle. With fall bringing frosty mornings, slippery leaves, and darker commutes, it’s more important than ever to keep your car prepared the right way.
❌ The Hack: Pouring Coke on corroded battery posts to clean them.
⚠️ Why It’s Bad: The acidity can eat away at metals and leave behind a sticky mess that causes even more corrosion.
✅ Do This Instead: Use a proper battery cleaner, or let our team at Tirecraft 118 test and service your battery. Pro tip: keep a portable jump starter in your trunk this fall. It’s a safe accessory that can get you out of an emergency. And don’t forget to carry a set of booster cables too.
Stay safe, YEG. Real people, servicing real life.
