FAQ’s

A Summer Checkup consists of a complete check of the cooling system as overheating is a problem faced in the summer months. High temperatures can aggravate any existing cooling system problems. A low coolant level, leaking hoses or broken electric cooling fans can all result in overheating and expensive damage.

A fully operational air condition system is also essential to combatting the demands of those summer months.

Tyres also targeted within the Summer Checkup as high temperatures can aggravate any existing damage to the rubber. Under-inflation adds to the problem, causing friction and therefore more heat, which can prove too intense for weak spots in the tyres, resulting in punctures and blow-outs.

"The cars running fine - what's the problem? What's that? Check my oil, lights, tyre pressures, lights and wiper blades? No. last time I looked they were all fine".

Well consider the following before you next jump in your car:

1. Eight million motorists in the UK haven't checked their oil or tyre pressures in the last six months.

2. Driving on tyres that are under inflated by as little as 7 psi will increase fuel by a massive 8%.They will also wear more quickly and affect braking and road handling.

3. One in six drivers in the UK suffer from battery failure in the winter. The AA alone will replace over 140,000 batteries this winter on cars that will not start.

4. It is illegal to drive with no liquid in your windscreen wiper bottle.

5. A vehicle fitted with winter tyres travelling at 62 mph stops a whopping 5 metres quicker than a car using ordinary tyres.

6. One in 15 vehicles has a faulty brake light. This not only increases the chances of you being shunted in the rear but also increases your chances of being stopped by the police. Expect a £60 fine and 3 points if you are caught.
