Winter is well and truly on is way so now is the time to get your car checked out.
As the long summer days slip away and the trees start dropping leaves we know the days will soon become colder and wetter.
Before things get icy it is highly recommended that you have a look at your car. During winter your vehicle sits overnight in cold, frosty and damp conditions.
It is sprayed with salt from gritters on the road and when you finally turn it on, serious damage can be done to your engine while it is still cold.
Garages such as Vauxhall MasterFit are announcing their new Winter Safety Check & Top Up, which will include a 25 point visual safety inspection of your vehicle in addition to the topping up of all vital fluids and tyre pressures.
Dave Elder from Vauxhall Aftersales comments:
“Maintaining your car with regular servicing and checks is vital to ensure trouble free motoring and this is particularly true during the winter. Our comprehensive Winter Check & Top Up, undertaken by highly trained technicians who understand your vehicle, will help reduce the chances of incident and breakdown during the harsh months ahead.”
In addition, every motorist who comes in for a Winter Check at their local MasterFit centre will receive a free Winter Car Care Pack, worth over £12.
The pack includes all the essentials you need to help you cope with the winter months ahead and contains a window de-icer, screen wash anti freeze and clearview solution, an ice scraper and de-misting pad.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
