The Importance Of Being Checked

As the seasons are becoming less predictable, harsh winters are having an immediate detrimental effect on the state of our roads and the cars that drive on them. A Winter Health Check is the best way to make sure that you’re ready for the challenging conditions the winter can throw at you with worn tyres being the obvious and most dangerous problem especially as stopping distances increase in icy, snowy or wet conditions.

Another important element of the Winter Health Check is a battery check as battery failure is the most common reported cause of breakdowns in the winter months. When temperatures fall below zero, even a fully charged battery will only have two-thirds of its power available.

Add to this the need to ensure that coolant levels are checked and something as basic as screen wash is topped up, just a few simple checks can make all the difference. 

Here at Lightcliffe we pride ourselves on good customer service, but achieving this is not just about being polite when customers attend the dealership, rather a genuine concern for the welfare of both your customers and the vehicle that they drive. 

That is why the management at Lightcliffe are offering a free winter health check for all our customers this winter. The checks should take no longer than half an hour during which time all visitors are welcome to wait in our newly refurbished showroom which has a seating area, TV, and refreshments.

We look forward to hearing from you and help you stay safe this winter.

Clare James Automotive Limited trading Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Clare James Automotive Limited trading Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.
Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
