Winter Protection Season: Defending Your Car Against New England’s Harshest Month

January in New England isn’t just hard on people, it’s one of the toughest months your vehicle will face all year. Between freezing temperatures, snowstorms, and heavily salted roads, your car is constantly exposed to conditions that can cause long-term damage if left untreated. Winter protection season is about more than keeping your car looking clean, it’s about defending it from corrosion, wear, and costly repairs.

Road salt may help keep the roads safe, but it’s extremely harsh on your vehicle. Salt and sand cling to your car’s exterior and undercarriage, accelerating rust and breaking down protective coatings. The danger often lies where you can’t see it: underneath your car, around brake lines, suspension parts, and frame components. Regular washing during the winter helps remove these corrosive materials before they have time to cause serious damage.

Many drivers assume it’s best to wait until spring to wash their car, but winter is actually the most important time to do it. At Alltown Car Wash our car washes are designed to operate safely in cold temperatures and each wash offering has professional drying to further prevent freezing. Consistent winter washes, especially those that include undercarriage cleaning can significantly extend the life of your vehicle and preserve its value.

January is the perfect time to shift your mindset from occasional cleaning to proactive protection. By making regular car washes part of your winter routine, you’re investing in your vehicle’s longevity and performance through New England’s harshest month. Your car works hard to get you through winter so taking steps to protect it now will pay off long after the snow melts.

An unlimited wash plan makes it easy to wash as often as winter demands. After snowstorms, slushy commutes, or salt-heavy road days without having to think twice.
