Winter ready
Winter Health Check: get ready before the cold hits

Good to know
It's a visual and functional seasonal check, not an MOT, a diagnostic or a repair guarantee. If we find anything that needs more investigation, we'll explain it and give you a price before any work goes ahead.
Due a service as well? Book them together and save a second trip. Electric or hybrid? Our high-voltage trained team checks EVs and hybrids too.
Questions
How long does it take?
Usually well under an hour, and you can wait. The team will confirm when you book.
Is it the same as an MOT?
No. An MOT is the legal annual test. The winter check is a seasonal look at the things most likely to let you down in cold weather.
