Here’s your essential summer car safety check list
Oil
Check your oils levels are topped up so your dehydrated car stays lubricated. Better still, why not book in for an Oil & Filter Service while you are at it?
Screen wash
Dusty roads and millions of bugs lead to very dirty windscreens. So, keep your screen wash topped up so you can actually see the road.
Windscreen wipers
Heat can cause your windscreen wipers to split so keep an eye on them and change them if they look worn.
Lights
Lights are often overlooked. Because there is more natural light in the summer we don’t use our lights as much. So that is why you must keep checking them, so you are ready for any late night journeys.
Coolant
Obviously, our cars get hotter in the summer so make sure your coolant levels are full enough to cope.
Car Air conditioning
In summer everyone’s air con goes into overtime. So, listen to your fan and watch out for funny smells. Check out our car air con blog for more advice HERE.
Tyres
Summer adds different stresses to your tyres so keep an eye on your tyre pressures, tread and overall condition. Make sure they are safe or pop in and see us for a free tyre inspection.
