Free Winter Car Check Farnborough

Cold weather is when batteries, tyres and lights let drivers down. Our free winter car check in Farnborough concentrates on the items that matter most from November to February: a computerised battery test, antifreeze strength, tyre tread and pressures for wet and icy roads, wiper blades and screen wash, and every external light. Book before the first frost and you will know your car is ready for the darker months.

Free Spring Car Check Farnborough

After a winter of salt, potholes and short journeys, spring is the time to refresh your car. Our free spring car check in Farnborough focuses on tyres, brakes, fluids and lights, with a computerised brake performance test and a tracking check to pick up any damage the winter roads have left behind. It is also a sensible check before an MOT if yours falls in the spring.

Free Summer Car Check Farnborough

Hot weather and long motorway trips ask different questions of a car. Our free summer car check in Farnborough covers the cooling system and engine coolant level, tyre pressures and tread for heavier loads, fluid levels and lights, so you can head off on holiday knowing the essentials have been looked at. If you would like the air conditioning checked as well, just ask when you book.
