What our winter health checks cover.

Battery health check: Battery failure is one of the most common causes of winter breakdowns. We test the condition of your car battery to reduce the risk of a non-start on cold mornings.
Brake test (visual): It goes without saying that coming to a stop on time is important. We will carry out a visual inspection of your brakes to reduce the risk of brake failure.
Brake test strength: After the visual inspection, we put your car on our roller brake tester to test the effectiveness of your braking system.
Engine oil level: Proper oil levels are essential for engine protection, particularly during cold starts. We ensure your oil level is correct to help keep your engine running smoothly.
Fluid level check: Your car uses a variety of fluids to function from screen wash to brake fluid - we check to make sure the fluid levels are correct.
Light bulb checks: With shorter days and poor visibility, fully working lights are essential. We check all exterior lights so you can see clearly and be seen by other road users.
Suspension (visual check): Suspension affects handling, comfort and tyre wear. We carry out a visual inspection to identify any obvious issues that could impact safety or stability.
Tyre health and pressure check: Your tyres are the main contact point between your car and the road. We will check for hidden defects and make sure your tyre pressure is correct.
Wiper test: Rain, spray and road grime are common in winter. We check the condition and effectiveness of your wiper blades to maintain clear visibility.

We will also send you useful MOT & service reminders so that you don't miss out on important car maintenance.
