Here are some of the things they discussed...
BBC: Why is it so important to check our cars at this time of the year - when temperatures plummet?
Craig Lane: It is important as there is more dangerous driving during poor conditions.
We need to make sure that things like tyres and windscreens are ok.

Craig Lane: Yes, people have their cars serviced once a year and believe that is all that's needed for the year. There are differences between a summer check and a winter check.
BBC: What are some of the things that people overlook during their own checks that are part of the Good Garage Scheme Winter checklist?
- Tyre tread depth
- Antifreeze and antifreeze strength
- Windscreen wash
Nigel also spoke with Craig about winter tyres and had a Winter Check carried out on his own car while he was at the garage.
Listen here for a limited time. The interview starts on the iPlayer at 46 minutes into the programme and continues about at hour later at 1:47.
