WINTER MOTORING

With winter weather fast approaching its time to do some safety checks.

Things to consider:

Tyres. Do they have plenty of tread on them for the increased braking distance in the wet? See the image included for varying levels, so if your in the red you need to be getting new tyres. At each WOF inspection the treads are checked. The vehicle will either pass, fail or have recommendations made so ensure you take that advice.

Leaf litter under the bonnet. If you park outside/under a tree at this time of the year its rampant and can cause issues (car drain blockages causing water overflow into interior & dash electrics). Lift your bonnet, have a look & clear it out.

Windscreen wipers. Are they doing there job properly or do they need replacing?

Brakes. When were they last checked? Does your ABS work correctly?

Maybe its time for a service (we will even clean your leaf litter for you). Call us soon at 09 6387866 so we can ensure you and your family are safe on the roads.
