Last winter’s Beast from the East caught many of us out, with its icy temperatures and heavy snowfall. 

Following a run of relatively mild winters, many people were unprepared for the cold spell and the effect this had on the daily commute. With another winter fast approaching, and long-range forecasts suggesting it could be the coldest in a decade, we are urging motorists to be prepared, and to act now to help keep vehicles on the road and in good condition, whatever the weather.

How can the Good Garage Scheme help?

Available from 1st October, the Good Garage Scheme’s 21-point Winter Check can be carried out by participating Good Garage Scheme garages to ensure your car is ready and safe for the winter weather ahead.

The check will ensure that vital elements such as your tyres, lights and power steering are in good working order as well as checking, topping up and recording fluid levels including brake fluid, engine oil and antifreeze.

To find a reliable garage in your area offering the Winter Check, simply click here and input your postcode or town.
