On a. typical
November,

day in
BCAA's
Emergency Road Service
recieves anywhere from 800-

900 calls a day from stranded
motorists in Greater
Vancouver alone. But

November 16 calls shot up to
1,600.

According to BCAA
Emergency Road Service
personnel, the volume of
service calls is always un-
predictable. Problems may
or may not be related to
weather and driving con-
ditions.

But some things never
change and those are the
precautionary measures to
avoid being stranded. The

~year:

. Of Regional -

y well

production will be 240,000
aluminum alloy wheels per

skilled jobs at the plant and a
substantial. number of in-

direct jobs in the Lower

Mainland.

‘Seventy-five per cent of
the. wheels will be shipped :to
Japan. for. assembly-.on ‘new
vehicles, with the balance
destined for the. North
American parts replacement
market.

This announcement in-
cluded .. details. .of ..a joint
federal-provincial: «decision
by Lumley and Phillips to
help construct the plant.

The principal element,
they said, is a low interest

most important is a winter
tune-up, says Len Lesjak,
Administrative Manager of
BCAA’s Emergency Road
Service.

“At this time of year and
in tighter economic times,
motorists don't want to
spend monéy on a winter
tune-up for their car,
especially if it’s still running
trouble-free,” Lesjak says.
“But we can't
emphasize the importance of
having cars tuned-up and
winterized. In the long run,
people save money on gas
consumption because the
car runs more efficiently.”

stranded cars, but in a well-
maintained car there won't
be problems such as a
cracked distributor cap to
allow moisture inside, says
Lesjak.

According to him, basic
common sense goes a long
way. For instance, slowing
down to drive through
puddles cuts down on the
chances of getting moisture
in the ignition system.

Besides a winter tune-up,
snow tires and antifreeze are
the most basic requirements.
When it comes to winter
driving, a little preventive
maintenance goes a long
way.
