With summer holidays drawing to a close, many parents are busy preparing their children for a new academic year, purchasing back to school items such as uniforms, stationery and sports kit.
One area that’s often overlooked is the family car and the need for it to be a safe and reliable workhorse for the school run.
With this in mind, the Good Garage Scheme is encouraging motorists to get their cars professionally checked as term begins.
Good Garage Scheme workshops across the UK can offer motorists peace of mind by providing an expert 21-point assessment of their vehicle’s condition.
All essential areas of the car are examined, including the condition and level of the coolant and engine oil, the tyres, wiper blades, windscreen and lights, in readiness for the wet and cold months ahead.
Fight against bacteria
The check also includes inspection the operation of the air conditioning and ventilation system and, if required, a sterilising and deodorising service, to ensure effective window demisting and safeguard against nasty bugs and bacteria in the passenger compartment.
Good Garage Scheme member garages can help motorists cut their fuel bills by as much as 14 per cent, whether they’re filling with petrol or diesel, by cleaning and lubricating the fuel system to improve engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
With diesel cars and the emissions, they produce in the spotlight, Good Garage Scheme members can also help drivers of these vehicles with expert advice as well as a complete cleaning solution to keep them clean and running smoothly.
Smartphone users can download a free iPhone or Android app to help them locate a nearby Good Garage Scheme member anywhere in the UK.
