Planning a holiday or weekend getaway? Spending a few minutes preparing your vehicle before you leave can save you from unexpected breakdowns.

Before setting off, make sure your tyres are correctly inflated and have enough tread. Check the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and windscreen washer bottle. Test all your lights and ensure your battery is in good condition.

It’s also worth checking your windscreen wipers, keeping an emergency tyre repair kit or spare wheel in the vehicle, and making sure your air conditioning is working properly for those long drives.

If you’d rather have complete peace of mind, book a pre-trip inspection with Apec Auto Works. We’ll inspect the key safety items and help ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey ahead.
