What is a winter check-up?
During a winter check-up one of the mechanics on our network will come and ensure that your car is ready for winter, inspecting the parts of your car that are more vulnerable in the winter to verify that they working order.
What is included in a winter check-up:
- Battery: Because of the cold, batteries are more likely to fail during the winter, and in fact are the number one cause of breakdowns according to the AA. Your mechanic will check to make sure that your battery is ready for the coming winter.
- Lights: With shorter days and harsher weather, visibility becomes more of a challenge during winter. Because of this it's essential that all of your lights are in full working order. During a Winter Check-up, your mechanic will check the functionality and condition or all interior and exterior lights.
- Windscreen Washer & Wipers: Again because of the visibility, it's important to ensure that your windscreen wipers are in full working order and that your washer levels are full. A Winter Check-up will include checking both of these.
- Antifreeze Top-up: Due to the cold winter, it's important to make sure your antifreeze levels are right, to ensure that your engine cooling system doesn't end up freezing, but it will also help prevent engine overheating and aid heat transfer.
