According to meteorologists, this coming winter could be the
worst in 65 years. With the complex
weather pattern known as El Nino predicted to be the strongest since 1950,
experts are warning of a long, harsh winter with heavy snowfall. As if it couldn’t get any worse, some reports
are also heralding the early arrival of plunging temperatures and snowfall as
soon as this month.
Even if you are not one to believe in early weather forecasts, it is always better to be safe than sorry, which is why we are advising
motorists to get their vehicles checked now to minimise breakdowns and
repairs when the winter weather arrives.
Salty roads and freezing conditions can cause problems for
cars during the colder months, but being prepared beforehand can reduce this
impact, not to mention the cost of repairs.
The Good Garage Scheme Winter Check will prepare your vehicle
for driving in cold conditions. This essential check not only carries out standard tests on bodywork, lights and
suspension but will also address winter-specific concerns such as:- Checking and recording antifreeze protection
- Carrying out a tyre report
- Checking the operation of interior and exterior lights
- Ensuring windscreen washers and wipers are in full working order
- Checking power steering operation and fluid levels
Ignoring the warning signs and simply waiting until your
next annual service could mean your car faces problems and costly repairs this
winter, particularly if the weather is to be as severe as is predicted.
