BC rain + coast rust: the maintenance people ignore until it’s $2k

Lower Mainland and Island: underbody wash after winter salt/trips, brake pad/rotor checks, battery load test before wet months, cabin filter, wipers before the first storm. What rust or moisture issue bit you hardest?

Underbody rinse after every Coquihalla winter trip. Rear brake caliper slides seize if you ignore them in the wet.

Battery died two rainy Novembers in a row. Load test every fall now — $0 at Canadian Tire, saved a tow.
