Here are some of the practical questions our experts have answered:

  • What do “green” plates for electric vehicles mean?
  • Is premium gas better for your vehicle?
  • Do you really need to have your brake discs cleaned each spring?

  • Ford has just released a new model. Would it be a good option for me?

Our experts answer tricky questions that may have crossed your mind. Now CAA-Quebec members and all GCM readers can benefit from insights from our objective Automotive Advisory Services experts on a range of topics related to consumer vehicles.
