We’ve had summer like conditions for almost two months now so it’s hard to believe it’s only July 6th. Speaking of summer, have you seen our summer car care specials? They’re a great way to tune up your vehicle if you are headed on a vacation and to deal with the heat.
If your car is your pride and joy, you may want to enter it into one of the many car shows in Victoria BC and other areas on Vancouver Island in the coming months. Below are Victoria Transmission & Auto Care’s Island-wide listings for car shows from July to the end of September 2015.
Before driving up island, consider coming to us to use one of our many auto care and repair services so your car is properly maintained and ready to be shown off.
