Winter Check

Winter Check

Of all the seasons, winter requires the most care and preparation to ensure you and your family stay safe on the roads. Breakdowns are more common and potentially more dangerous during the winter months than at any other time of the year. So it is particularly important to be prepared for the cold spells and difficult road conditions that can arise, especially when snow and ice are about.

To keep you moving we will check your car's:

• Tyres - We will check the overall condition of your tyres including the tread depth and pressure
• Battery - We will test the batteries charge to ensure you keep moving this winter
• Coolant / Anti-freeze – We will check the strength and levels

With the short days and bad weather, visibility of the road is vital so we will also check your car’s:

• Wiper blades for splits or damage
• Operation of the windscreen wash system and the level of screen wash and top this up if necessary
• Light bulbs – faulty or broken bulbs are illegal

Once your check has been completed our trained technicians will discuss the report with you and provide help and guidance if any elements do not meet the safety requirements.
