Winter Check vs Summer Check
A seasonal check focuses on what matters most for the season ahead. Here's what we look at before winter, and before summer — so you're never caught out.
Winter is when cars let drivers down most. A winter check makes sure the parts you rely on in the cold are up to the job — before the first frost catches you out.
- Battery health & cold-cranking power
- Antifreeze strength & coolant level
- Tyre tread & grip for wet, icy roads
- All lights working for dark mornings & nights
- Wiper blades & winter screenwash mix
- Heater & demister working
Summer heat and long holiday drives put different strain on a car. A summer check focuses on cooling, air-con, tyres and fluids for the miles ahead.
- Engine cooling & coolant level
- Air-conditioning performance
- Tyre condition & pressures for motorway miles
- Oil & fluid levels for long journeys
- Battery (heat shortens its life too)
- Lights & wipers for summer storms
