October 1st is right around the corner and that means that it's time for you to book your winter tire swap, or maybe get new tires for your winter adventures. Your Land Rover or Range Rover has one of the most advanced four wheel drive systems on Earth - but having the wrong tires on your vehicle can have disastrous consequences.
In British Columbia, it is the law to have winter (or the M+S inside the little three-peaked mountain on your tire) from October 1st to April 1st on all mountain roads and in most of BC.
(you can see the map of where snow tires are required here)
Take a look at your tires. If you have snow tires, you'll see either a three peaked mountain with a snowflake in it, a large M+S or both. If you see these, you're good to head into the white stuff. If not, you need to get yourself some snow tires before heading into the mountains this winter.
Even if you are running all-season tires we highly recommend having your vehicle checked over at least twice per year for a general inspection and check the tires for any signs of wear or damage.
While we have the car on the hoist to install your Winter tires, we will do a visual inspection of your brakes, suspension and steering components. Once your Winter tires have been reinstalled we will do a four-wheel alignment check and make sure the suspension and steering are all within specification. Finally, we will complete a short road test to make sure there are no obvious drivability issues and make sure to notify you of potential upcoming service needs.
For your convenience, we also offer an annual in-house tire storage package which includes the tire changeover, cleaning your wheels and tires and storing them in our secure warehouse.

Once your vehicle arrives in the province and has cleared customs, you will require a Provincial Inspection, also referred to as a Commercial Vehicle Inspection. The Provincial Inspection is an automotive vehicle safety inspection and is required on all vehicles imported into the Province of BC before being insured. The program also manages recurring inspections for commercial vehicles, taxis, buses and trucks.

Knock, knock. Knock, knock. Do you have a late model Land Rover or Range Rover with independent suspension? If so, you've likely heard a strange noise when the front end of your vehicle suddenly changes direction. Think about speed bumps, pot holes or a driveway/entrance with a steep angle. Do you hear a strange knocking sound, or maybe even a loose steering wheel that doesn't quite feel right?
