Yes, we will change your antifreeze and top up your screen wash.
The Winter Preparation Bundle also includes an engine oil check. If a top up is recommended, an additional charge may apply - your local autocentre will be able to confirm this for you.
Duxback is a professional-quality car glass treatment that helps water to 'bead' on glass, dramatically improving visibility in the rain. In fact, if you're driving over 40mph, you won't even need wipers - the water runs straight off. Duxback also prevents snow and frost from sticking to your windscreen, making it much easier to clean in colder weather. Find out more about Duxback.
No, the Winter Preparation Bundle includes a safety check of the vehicle only, ensuring it is safe and prepared for winter weather. If, as part of the checks, further work is recommended, we will always advise you before any work is carried out.
E Grade – Below average fuel efficiency, however there may in some cases be a good reason why the rolling resistance is higher, for example where tyres are specifically designed for more grip, such as sports car tyres or winter tyres.
Wet Grip(A-G)B Grade – Nearly the best quality tyres to stop in the wet, stopping only 3m more than a grade A tyre but on average 15m shorter than a car on grade G tyres (on a wet road when braking from 50mph – testing according to regulation EC1222/2009)
Sound Wave(1-3)3 Bars – At least 3dB's above future EU noise limit (although meets current limit)
Noise(67-79 Db)73 dB – Exterior noise level measured in decibels (dB). The lower the exterior noise level the better the environment near busy roads
