Be Safe This Winter
After a very mild December the recent weather in the UK has been a shock to most people with many roads and transport networks grinding to a halt in the freeze.
Has any responsible dealership we are constantly monitoring the weather and making sure that all of our customers know that we are here for them in case of any problems with the car during the winter months.
As a result of this service manager Sharzley has decided to offer a winter health check over the coming month for any customers who need to get the car checked. And in true Lightcliffe fashion to demonstrate how much he values our customers this will be offered free of charge.
The check will cover everything essential to the car running smoothly in the winter months and includes:
Oil – This is to ensure it is at the correct level. Low oil levels can cause breakdowns and lead to catastrophic engine damage if left unresolved.
Rubber – Tyres will be checked for general wear and tear, splits, or bulges, and crucially tread depth along with pressure. Wiper blades will also be checked as these won’t last forever and need replacing from time to time due to splits and cracks.
Coolant – Again very important especially in the winter months so we will check your car’s coolant level to ensure you don’t overheat or even freeze.
Electrics - There are plenty of electrics in your car – from headlights and fog lights to your battery – and they all need to be checked regularly to keep you safe.
Screen wash – we will check your screen wash level in the tank under the bonnet, topping up if necessary, with a quality screen wash. Important specially in winter for cleaning dirty windscreens and ensuring that your visibility is always clear. (Note – screen wash can be dangerous for your furry friends so make sure that any spare screen wash is put away safely)
Engine air filter - A faulty or clogged-up air filter could reduce your fuel efficiency and lead to reduced engine power.
Spark plugs - Spark plugs are integral to the running of your engine and one or more faulty plugs will cause an engine and even break down.
Brakes – The importance of brakes goes without saying and as well as checking the brakes are fully functional and intact, we will also check brake fluid level and top up where required.
Heater / Air conditioning – whether or not your car has air-conditioning a fully functioning heater is essential for the winter months.
