What Exactly Is a Vehicle Health Check?

A Vehicle Health Check is a thorough visual inspection carried out by our specialist technicians every time your vehicle visits our workshop. It covers:

  1. Brakes - We inspect the condition and performance of your brake pads, discs, and hydraulic system. Our technicians check for wear, heat spots, corrosion, and any signs that your braking ability could be compromised. This ensures you can stop safely, even on icy or wet winter roads.
  2. Wheels & tyres - Your tyres are your only contact with the road, so we assess tread depth, pressure, tyre wear patterns, and overall condition. We also check wheel alignment issues and tyre ageing, all essential for maintaining grip, stability, and fuel efficiency in cold weather.
  3. Exhaust - A quick yet thorough inspection of the exhaust helps identify leaks, corrosion, and unusual noises. As winter often accelerates rust and damage due to salt and moisture, this check helps prevent emissions problems and ensures your vehicle runs smoothly.
  4. Steering components - We examine the steering rack, joints, and linkages for play, stiffness, or wear. Responsive and predictable steering is vital for safe driving, particularly when road conditions worsen during winter.
  5. Wiper blades - Clear visibility is essential in darker, wetter seasons. We check the condition of your wiper blades, ensuring they’re not split, streaking, or worn. We also confirm your screen wash system is functioning properly to keep your windscreen clear.
  6. Check Key fluid levels

 

This essential check helps ensure your vehicle stays safe, reliable, and ready for the demands of winter driving.
