Free Spring Vehicle Health Check

1. Car Battery Health

Transitioning from the cold weather to Spring can be tough on your car battery, leading to unexpected breakdowns. Our expert technicians assess your battery’s charge level, starting performance and overall condition to ensure it’s ready to handle the demands of spring driving. If any issues are found, we’ll provide you with practical solutions to keep your vehicle powered throughout the colder months.

2. Tyre Safety Check

Your tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, making them essential for your safety. Our expert technicians carry out a close inspection of tread depth, tyre pressure, and overall condition (A.C.T) to ensure your tyres provide optimal grip and performance on wet roads. We’ll also check for any visible damage or irregular wear patterns to help you avoid any potential issues before they arise.

With some dark early mornings and late nights still upon us, clear visibility when driving is critical. We will check that all your vehicle’s exterior lights are operating correctly and advise of any issues.

If your windscreen wipers are past their best, they will not clear your windscreen effectively. Problems include smearing, juddering across the glass and being noisy when in use. They may be split, torn or the rubber may have hardened with age. If there’s a problem with your wiper

blades, we will find it and notify you of the best solution. This check also includes your rear wiper/s - if fitted.

5. Washer Fluid Supply

Washer fluid keeps your windscreen screen clean by removing streaks, muck, bugs and so on.

We will check the level in your washer bottle and can top it up with a season-appropriate concentration of washer fluid.

💡Did you know? In a cold engine, oil becomes thicker. Most modern engines use synthetic oil which is less prone to this issue, and it reduces the effort on your battery and starter motor when you first fire up your engine on a chilly day.
