Car Health Check
Common questions
- What should be checked on a car before winter?
- The battery, tyres, lights, wipers, coolant and screenwash matter most. Cold weather finds weak batteries first, so it is worth checking before the first frosts.
- Should I get my car checked before a long journey?
- Yes, especially before a holiday or a long motorway run. A pre-journey inspection covers tyres, brakes, fluids, lights and the battery, so small problems are found at home rather than on the hard shoulder.
- Is a health check the same as a service?
- No. A service replaces oil, filters and other parts on a schedule. A health check is a look over the car to find problems, and we tell you what we find before any work is done.
- Can you check a problem I have noticed?
- Yes. We are always happy to check over any problem you are having with your car, whether it is a noise, a warning light or a change in how it drives.
