What damages can heavy snow have on a vehicle?
The parts of your car that are most at risk are the wheels, brakes, exhaust pipes, mufflers and andy other metal components that are located relatively low to the ground. However, we don’t want to forget about your vehicle’s paint. The same snow that can corrode the metal on your vehicle can also cause the paint to lift away and peel off, leaving you with an expensive repair bill.
Infiltrating snow can cause both surface and interior damage, made worse by fluctuating temperatures. Snowstorms like Darcy are traditionally short-lived, and with the country on the edge of spring, could mean temperatures dip from freezing, to warm, and back again. Moisture inside a car which freezes and unfreezes could manipulate its mechanisms, resulting in damage.
