Tiff Needell Promotes Winter Checks

Tiff Needell in the studio for Good Garage Scheme

Former British racing driver and Fifth Gear presenter, Tiff Needell was in the studio last week promoting the Good Garage Scheme's Winter Check, encouraging motorists to have their cars checked so they are prepared for the weather ahead.

Tyre safety was one of the key messages. 1.6 mm is the legal limit, although 2.0mm tread is legal, you will have less grip.

Tiff also mentioned survey information from the Good Garage Scheme which showed that many drivers are delaying car servicing because of the cost and this is a false economy. He highlighted the new budgeting tool from the Good Garage Scheme in their new Service Plans.

Tiff Needell on Cars, Tyres and Winter Checks

Former racing driver and current presenter of Fifth Gear, Tiff Needell, was in the studio on Friday, 23rd October promoting the Good Garage Scheme's Winter Check.

Tiff spoke with radio stations across the UK including BBC Radio Berkshire, Big City Radio and BFBS Radio UK about the Good Garage Scheme's recent research which revealed that 54% of people will not have their cars serviced before their next long journey.

The research also showed that common items of neglect are tyres and anti-freeze.

Tiff reminded listeners that an MOT is not a service. Passing an MOT test will not mean your car will be guaranteed to be fault-free for the next year. Regular checks and advice from your local Good Garage Scheme member garage will give you peace of mind and ensure you and your family are safe  and that your car will get you to where you need to be.

Find your nearest Good Garage Scheme member at www.GoodGarageScheme.com and ask for a Winter Check.
