Even a vehicle designed to survive the harshest winter conditions needs some occasional TLC. Cold temperatures, freezing conditions and gritted roads put strains on your engine, brakes, heating system and tyres. And a spring check and aircon debug is the easiest way to ensure a new season of trouble-free motoring.

Spring Check includes:
• Check heater controls, internal blower speeds and drive belt
• Check system for leaks
• Check brakes – pads and discs
• Check tyres – monitor tread depth and adjust tyre pressures
• Check/correct fluid levels – oil, water, screenwash, brake fluid levels
• 30-minute specialist debug treatment to neutralise odours and bacteria
