Traditions Auto Service

It might not seem like we're getting excited about our summer break... but there may be signs. 😎🏖️

Traditions Auto Service will be closed August 31–September 7 for our annual summer holiday.

If your vehicle needs some attention before we head off, now is a good time to get on the schedule. Appointments may fill up quickly as we get closer to the break.

One thing we have been seeing a lot of lately is air conditioning systems that just can't keep up with the heat.

Sometimes it's something simple. Sometimes it isn't. Your A/C has a limited amount of refrigerant and even a minor loss can make a big performance difference. Let us help! You can schedule your appointment at anytime. https://aops.cc/traditions-auto-scarborough-booking

School is almost out, and its time to start planning summer road trips!

Before you load up the family, the luggage, and the snacks, consider having your vehicle inspected to help catch small issues before they become costly breakdowns. A little preparation can go a long way toward making sure your trip is memorable for all the right reasons.

Happy Victoria Day!

That emergency kit in your trunk could be the difference between an inconvenience and a dangerous situation. Jumper cables, blanket, flashlight, water.

Your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI for every 10-degree temperature drop. Check monthly or risk poor handling and premature wear.

After what feels like the 18th month of winter, spring is finally here! Its time to book your spring service. Use our online scheduler, quick, no waiting on hold and no phone or email tag. You can even book up to 2 months in advance.

Wheel alignment affects more than tire wear - it impacts fuel economy, handling, and safety. Hit a pothole hard enough to knock alignment out, and you'll feel it in the steering wheel. A quick alignment check can prevent premature tire replacement.

Manual transmissions are becoming rare, but if you drive one, you know the joy of perfect gear changes. Clutch feel, shift smoothness, and that connection to the drivetrain - it's why enthusiasts still choose three pedals over automatics and CVTs.

Air filters seem simple, but they're your engine's first line of defense against dirt and debris. A clogged filter forces your engine to work harder, reducing fuel economy by up to 10%. It's amazing how something so basic can impact performance so much.
