A few simple precautions and techniques can protect your vehicle from wildfire-related damage
As nearly 400 wildfires burn across B.C., smoke and debris hover in the skies over many areas of the province. These mists of fine pieces of debris can blanket vehicles with soft, yet potentially damaging soot and ash. The British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) suggests vehicle owners take precautions to protect their cars, campers and trailers from costly repairs or permanent damage caused by wildfire smoke and accumulated soot and embers.
"Next to a home, a vehicle is probably the second most expensive item most of us will purchase," says Allen Holmes, BCAA Auto Approved Repair Shop (AARS) supervisor. "You want your vehicle to appear well-kept for as long as possible so it maintains its resale or trade-in value."
