Our 12 Point Winter
Check Includes
Battery Test + Printout Result
Regularly checking your car battery is essential for maintaining reliable vehicle performance and preventing unexpected breakdowns.
In addition, all batteries naturally lose charging capability over time. That’s why it’s important to have yours tested before you’re left with a vehicle that won’t start in the morning.
Exterior Lights Check
Ensure all headlights, indicators and brake lights are working — visibility and legal compliance are essential.
Coolant & Anti-Freeze Level
We will check your car’s antifreeze level to ensure your engine stays properly cooled and protected. First, we will make sure the engine is cool before inspecting the coolant reservoir, which is usually a translucent tank marked with “MIN” and “MAX” levels. We will then visually check that the antifreeze is between these marks, topping it up if necessary with the correct type of coolant.
Tyre Check, Condition & Tread Depth
We will check your vehicle tyre pressures and top them up to the correct levels.
We will inspect your tyres, assessing their overall condition, tread depth, and pressure. Tyres are crucial for your safety, ensuring your vehicle grips the road, maintains stability, and can stop effectively when needed. Worn or damaged tyres not only compromise safety but can also result in an MOT failure.
Fan Belt Check
We will check the condition of your fan belt, where accessible, to ensure it is in good working order. The fan belt is vital for driving essential components such as the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning system. A worn or damaged belt can lead to engine overheating or failure of critical systems, so regular inspection helps maintain reliable performance and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
Check Wiper Blades
We will check the condition of all your car’s wiper blades to ensure they are functioning effectively. Wiper blades are essential for maintaining clear visibility in all weather conditions, especially during rain or snow. Damaged or worn blades can leave streaks, smears, or even fail to clear the windscreen properly, compromising safety. By inspecting your wiper blades, we help ensure optimal performance, improving your visibility and keeping you safe on the road.
Check, Condition of Engine Oil
We will check your vehicle engine oil to ensure it is at the correct level and in good condition. Proper engine oil is essential for lubricating moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing engine.
Check Brake Fluid
We will check your brake fluid to ensure it is at the correct level and in good condition. Brake fluid is vital for the proper functioning of your braking system, as it transfers the force from your brake pedal to the brake components, allowing your vehicle to stop safely. Low or contaminated brake fluid can reduce braking efficiency and compromise safety. By regularly checking your brake fluid, we help maintain reliable braking performance and ensure your vehicle remains safe to drive.
Top up Screen Wash
We will check your vehicle’s screen wash level and top it up if needed. Ensuring your screen wash is at the correct level helps keep your windscreen clean, improving visibility and safety while driving. Regular checks prevent running out of fluid unexpectedly, allowing your wipers to work effectively and keeping your view of the road clear in all weather conditions.
Check Condition of Brake Pads and Brake Disks
We will check the condition of your brake pads and brake discs, where accessible, to ensure they are functioning properly. Brake pads and discs are critical components of your braking system, providing the grip and friction needed to stop your vehicle safely. Worn or damaged pads and discs can reduce braking efficiency and compromise safety. By inspecting them, we help maintain reliable braking performance and keep your vehicle safe on the road.
M.O.T Due Date Reminder Sticker
We will provide you with an M.O.T. due date reminder sticker for your car. This sticker serves as a helpful visual reminder of when your next M.O.T. test is due, helping you stay compliant with legal requirements. By keeping track of your M.O.T. date, you can ensure your vehicle remains roadworthy, safe, and in good condition.
