Spring has officially sprung and the holiday season is just around the
corner. Whether you are planning a getaway for Easter, hoping to take
advantage of the Bank Holiday weekends or have booked your May half term
break, don’t forget to get your car checked before you go.
From
1st April our
Holiday Check will be available at participating Good
Garage Scheme garages. This seasonal check will ensure your car is in
good working condition ready for the holiday season ahead.
Participating
garages will check that your tyres, wheels and suspension have not
become damaged by harsh winter driving conditions. They will also ensure
that engine oil and coolant levels are adequately topped up and check
that the air conditioning, lights and power steering are operating
efficiently, so you can drive safely and comfortably.
To
find a local garage taking part in the
Holiday Check programme, please
visit our website (please add a link to the holiday check page) and
enter your postcode in the box provided.
In a recent survey by
Hatchbag, it was revealed that 46% of people are planning to enjoy a
staycation this year. If you’re holidaying at home, chances are you may
be towing a caravan, trailer or perhaps installing a roofbox to carry
your essentials. All of these can put an extra strain on your vehicle,
so checking everything in is good working order now will give you peace
of mind ahead of your getaway.
For a full list of
everything that is covered in the Holiday Check or to find out more
about the garages in your area offering this service please visit our
website.
It's like having a friend in the know!
Have a good sniff of the air coming through your car's air vents. A bad smell in the car is a telltale sign that the air conditioning
system may need a specific treatment.
