With the summer holidays now drawing to a close, many parents are busy
preparing their children for
a new academic year, purchasing back to
school items such as uniforms, stationery and sports kit.
However, one
area that’s often overlooked is the family car and the need for it to be
a safe and reliable workhorse for the school run. With this in mind, the
Good Garage Scheme is encouraging motorists to get their cars
professionally checked as term begins.
Good Garage Scheme
workshops across the UK can offer motorists peace of mind by providing
an expert 21-point assessment of their vehicle’s condition. All
essential areas of the car are examined, including the condition and
level of the coolant and engine oil, the tyres, wiper blades, windscreen
and lights, in readiness for the wet and cold months ahead. Not doing
so can increase the risk of having a collision, especially if a car’s
tyre pressures are low, making it hard to maintain grip and easier to
skid in wet conditions. Being able to see and be seen is also important
as the daylight hours get shorter, making it essential to ensure that
all bulbs are working correctly.
The check also includes inspection the operation of the air conditioning and ventilation system and, if required, a sterilising and deodorising service, to ensure effective window demisting and safeguard against nasty bugs and bacteria in the passenger compartment.
Visit www.GoodGarageScheme.com and find your local Good Garage Scheme member garage to carry out a Back to School Check.
