Winter Vehicle Health Check from £29

As the winter months approach, ensuring your Toyota is ready to tackle the challenges of cold weather driving becomes essential. From icy roads to heavy snowfall, winter can be tough on vehicles, making regular maintenance even more important. We provide a health check to make sure it’s running smoothly coming up to and during the frosty seasons. It’s a multi-point vehicle check and you will get a full printed report and a detailed personal VHC video. Offer available until 31st January 2025. If you have any questions about the checks or would like to book directly with our customer service team you can call us today on 028 3839 6867 or book online using the form below.

What we check:

  • Suspension, drive shaft and steering
  • Brake discs and brake pad condition
  • Tyre tread and condition
  • Exhaust and mountings
  • Cambelt condition
  • Wiper blades

The outcome of the VHC will be grade each item checked as red amber or green:

Red items are an immediate safety concern such as brakes, tyres, wipers, lights and other items which would usually class as an MOT failure or safety concern.

Amber items will need attention before the next Service or MOT, but are not an immediate safety concern.

Green items are working as they should and will not need attention before the next Service or MOT.

Here are some essential tips for winter driving to help ensure your safety on the roads:

  • Check Your Tyres: Ensure your tyres are winter-ready, with sufficient tread depth and proper inflation. Consider switching to winter tires for better grip on snow and ice.
  • Battery Maintenance: Cold temperatures can drain your battery. Have it tested to ensure it’s in good condition.
  • Fluid Levels: Keep an eye on your antifreeze and windshield washer fluid. Use a winter formula for washer fluid that won’t freeze.
  • Braking Distance: Increase your following distance. It takes longer to stop on slippery roads, so give yourself extra space to react.
  • Use Headlights: Visibility can be poor in winter conditions. Always use your headlights in snow, fog, or rain to increase visibility for yourself and other drivers.
  • Know Your Route: Plan your trips in advance, checking the weather and road conditions. Avoid driving in severe weather if possible.
