Canadian Tire Has All The Best Cars 3 Gear for Your Favourite Racing Fan this Summer

May 30, 2017 by Kathryn 17 Comments

When my oldest son was just a toddler, Disney’s Cars was his hands-down favourite movie. He dreamed of being a race car driver when he grew up, and watching Lighting McQueen’s adventures on the road to the Piston Cup (not to mention the important lesson he learns along the way), always had Zackary cheering throughout every action-packed scene.

A few years later, my oldest was able to introduce his little brother to the characters he loved in a brand-new way when Cars 2 debuted. And now, with Cars 3 hitting theatres in just a few weeks, I know both boys will be anxious to check it out…and introduce their new little brother to the movie when he’s old enough too! But while we all eagerly wait for Disney’s Cars 3 to be released on June 16, Canadian Tire is helping us leap into the fun early with a hot new line of Cars 3 merchandise available just in time for summer fun.

With fall just around the corner, it’s a great time to tune up the car so that it’s ready for the busy back-to-school season. And even though I don’t have a whole lot of experience with car maintenance, I know that there are a lot of little things I can do myself rather than paying a mechanic. Last year, I taught myself to change my car’s oil. This year, I knew that my car’s air filter and cabin air filter were both due to be changed. So I decided to change them myself in preparation for winter…with a little help from FRAM!

Come Join the Canadian Tire #JumpstartMonth Twitter Party on June 7 at 8pm EST and Help Kids Get in the Game

For the first time in a few years, both my boys are participating in organized sports this spring. Benjamin decided he wanted to play soccer, while Zackary chose baseball. Both boys have made some new friends, developed lots of new skills and learned about teamwork and the value of cooperation. My energetic oldest son has even done some pitching!

Seeing my boys grow and develop as part of a sports team was worth every penny I paid to register them for their chosen sports. But for some parents, that extra money just isn’t available. That’s why Canadian Tire started the Jumpstart program. The charity helps pay registration fees for kids in need so that they can reap the many benefits of being on an organized sports team. And since June is Jumpstart Month at Canadian Tire, it’s a great time to show your support for this worthy cause!

To kick off Jumpstart Month in style, Canadian Tire is hosting a fantastic Twitter party that you won’t want to miss. Come join the #JumpstartMonth Twitter party on June 7 at 8pm EST and chat with special Olympic guests Hayley Wickenheiser, Meaghan Mikkelson and Benoit Huot about the importance of organized sports and how you can help support Jumpstart in your community.

Best of all, there’s $1000 in prizes to be won for those that take part, so make sure to mark your calendar and get ready for fun. Please note that prizes are available to Canadians only, excluding Quebec, but everyone is welcome to join in the conversation! And if you’re new to Twitter parties, you may want to follow along on Twubs.

One of my favourite things about Canadian Tire Jumpstart is that all the money raised in a community stays in that community. So supporting Jumpstart means that you’re helping local kids get off the sidelines and into the game! Whether a child wants to try a new sport or continue a favourite one, everybody can reap the benefit of organized sports thanks to Jumpstart!

Join the @CanadianTire #CanadasGarage Twitter Party April 7 at 7pm EST

When it comes to keeping a car running well, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When I was younger, I had a bad habit of running my vehicles until they were no longer road-worthy and only then getting them fixed. The result? Costly repairs that could have been prevented with some cheap and easy maintenance. That’s why now I put a lot more effort into keeping my car in good running order. Spring is the perfect time to do that, since I’m already heading to the garage to take off my winter tires. And Canadian Tire is always a top choice for one-stop servicing for my beloved car!

Wondering what kind of maintenance your car might need this spring? Topping up fluids is a must, from antifreeze to brake fluid. An oil change is usually a good idea too; planning one every spring and fall will help keep a car running smoothly for years. It’s also a good idea to check spark plugs, especially if you’ve noticed your engine stutter a bit at any point. And having your mechanic check the condition of a car’s brakes, timing belt and air filter can save thousands on future repairs. Brake pads need to be changed periodically; left too long and both pads and disks will need replacing. And breaking a timing belt can ruin the entire engine, so checking it for wear is a must.

There’s a lot to love about Christmas, but one of my favourite things about the season is making a little wish list of items I’m dreaming about finding under the tree. And I can find plenty of items to add to my wish list when I browse the Canadian Tire holiday flyers! Personally, I’d be thrilled to add a pasta maker to my collection of kitchen appliances this year. But I’d also love to add some of the stylish CANVAS Slate serving platters and accessories to the cupboards too!
