In 2017 it celebrated its 90th Anniversary. Prestone Products Corporation has grown to become the leader in under-the-hood chemicals and “continues to be the overwhelming choice to protect today’s automobiles.”

You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
