The cold snap earlier this week brought a touch of the Arctic to Manchester. Although most of us managed to dodge the snow, you know its only a matter of time before the cold weather wreaks havoc on the roads and your car.
To combat the cold, Duffy Motors offer a fast and convenient winter car check from its city centre garage.
There’s nowhere more convenient if you live or work in Manchester city centre.
Book your winter check-up in now. We only charge for half an hours labour and you can drop-off and pick-up your car as you please.
We check:
While we have your vehicle on the ramp we will also perform a quick visual brake test just to check for major faults.
And we’ll top your washer fluid up with antifreeze if you are running low.
Duffy Motor’s city centre garage couldn’t be more convenient for anyone commuting into Manchester for work.
Located next to the Beetham tower, there’s lots of public transport links nearby so you can drop your car off in the morning, head to work and pick it up whenever you are ready.
In the winter the cold weather can interfere with the chemical reaction that goes on in your battery. This means they are more likely to fail, especially batteries that are more than about five years old.
If your battery is sounds or feels like it is struggling to get started, especially on those cold winter mornings then you should get it checked (and possibly replaced) by an expert. This winter might be enough to finish it off.
You are much more likely to be involved in an accident in winter. To help reduce the risk it’s important that you get your brakes, tyres, wipers and bulbs checked. This will help reduce the risk of skidding, help you see other road users better and allow other road users to see you better (only if you keep your lights on though).
