Engine failure, dead car battery, flat tyre are some of the common phenomena of summer roads. Therefore, to ensure safe driving during the warmer part of the year and make your vehicle summer roadworthy, it is mandatory you should opt for a proper summer check before taking it out.
At Binley Woods Service Centre, we provide a comprehensive summer car check. Our highly professional team inspects basic car units and makes sure they are in perfect working condition.
What do we check during summer car services?
Batteries
Rise in the temperature is directly related to the health of a car battery. As batteries comprise acid and water, the water stored in the battery evaporates with soaring temperature, which compels lead plates to come out. Also, an old battery cannot power all the electronic components in a vehicle. Apart from these, problems like slow engine start, dim headlights also indicate a failing battery. At our garage, we check all the symptoms and guide you if a repair or replacement is necessary.
Oil level
A standard oil level is mandatory to keep the engine function properly. Excessive or insufficient oil can cause irreparable damage which can lead to expensive services. Our professionals check the oil level and top up as required.
Air condition
Before venturing out in the summer, you must ensure that the car air conditions are working optimally. As the air conditioner loses its power over time, its capacity to vent cool air through the car cabinet also gets reduced. This problem especially affects passengers during hot summers. Therefore, as part of the summer check, we scrutinize all these issues and regas the air conditioner if needed.
Tyres and tyre pressure
Our vehicle services include inspecting the tyres and their tread depth and pressure. A tyre must have a tread depth of a minimum of 1.6 mm while 3 mm is recommended. We check if you have the required tread depth. Also, we look for punctures or uneven wear in the tyre. During summer, we advise car owners to equip their cars with summer tyres to ensure safety and superior driving experience.
Coolant
Coolant does a two-way job by preventing the car from overheating during summer and freezing during winter. Our vehicle services include checking and fluid top-up.
Windscreen wipers
Over time, screen wash can develop cracks or become greasy, especially after the heavy toll of winter. We can replace these blades easily as these are affordable car products.
Apart from checking these essential units, Binley Woods Service Centre also thoroughly inspects all the lights, brake pads, discs, screen wash etc.
