Thursday 13th July 2023

Planning on taking a road trip? You may have undertaken all the necessary checks your vehicle requires, considered the things to bring with you and topped up on all those important fluids. But one thing that often gets overlooked is how to stay alert behind the wheel on those long journeys.

The best way to keep your car properly maintained before a road trip is by booking in for a car service. Depending on what time of year you are planning on embarking on a long journey, we offer a free summer safety check which is available at your local centre. Alternatively, take a look at our winter vehicle checklist for any longer journeys taken in the colder weather. For more information, contact a member of our specialist team today.
