Winter Weather Warning

It's been a real mixed bag of weather across the county so far this winter with temperatures sometimes swinging by 15C overnight! Historically over the last few years we've tended to experience real winter conditions throughout February and March before some unseasonably warm spells in April.

This can give rise to some very challenging driving conditions that change incredibly quickly. It can also leave many motorists a little complacent about routine maintenance procedures that they should be carrying out on their vehicles such as:

• washer fluid and antifreeze top up
• Oil level check
• Wiper condition (frozen windscreens can tear off the rubber strips used to clean the windscreen!)
• Vehicle lighting check
• Tyre pressures and tread depths
  

• 
  

Carrying out these pretty fundamental checks should take no more than four or five minutes a month and have been proven to dramatically prolong the life off engines, tyres and of course improve the overall visibility and safety of winter motoring.

When did you last look after your own vehicle? Too many motorists rely on annual services or MoT inspections before they take action.

Not sure how to perform these checks? When you use Hometyre, our technicians will happily walk you through them while they're on site with you - just ask!
