When a vehicle enters the workshop for a service it's important to make sure it is winter ready

First Line highlights essential winter safety checks for workshops
It is strongly recommended that the wiper blades are replaced annually.

During the Winter months there is sure to be plenty of adverse weather conditions, all of which could hinder the performance of the vehicle, as several key components will be more exposed to the elements and prone to failure.

Filters are one of the components that must be replaced in line with the manufacturers schedule, as they are vital in maximising the longevity and efficiency of both the vehicle and the comfort of its occupants.

The entire range is manufactured to Borg & Beck’s exacting standards and undergoes rigorous product testing to ensure the consistency of performance that is expected with a premium product.

During a winter service, all four filters should be considered and replaced if necessary.

A sure sign that the cabin filter needs replacing is if the windscreen begins to mist or takes a long time to de-mist.

With this in mind, First Line Ltd, under the Borg & Beck brand, has continued to add to its extensive product portfolio and in 2017 alone, the company introduced more than 210 new-to-range (NTR) references.

This includes 77 air, 36 fuel, 12 oil and 86 cabin filters to give workshops the right, premium products on-hand to carry out successful maintenance on the vehicle.

Prevent safety hazards

Whilst the car is in the workshop, technicians should take the opportunity to check the functionality of the wiper blades.

Wiper blades are constantly exposed to changing weather conditions and temperature changes and over time, the rubber blades will inevitably deteriorate and visibility could be affected and become dangerous.

Being able to see clearly during bad weather when visibility can be poor is crucial, therefore it is strongly recommended that the wiper blades are replaced annually.

To help technicians relay this important message to their customers, First Line Ltd has designed a poster to be placed in work shop reception areas, contact [email protected] to request yours.
