The warmer months are upon us – it’s time to make sure you’re ready for all those summer road trips and holidays
Car maintenance is an important part of this.
Sure, it might be a little boring.
But the boring things in life are generally the things that are best for us. Like sprouts (unless they’re roasted with garlic and bacon and cheese), or doing your taxes, or going to bed at a sensible time.
However, taking the time to get your car prepared for summer can help to preserve the condition of your vehicle, reducing the need for vehicle maintenance and keeping costs down, as well as making sure long (and short) drives are a comfortable experience for you and the whole family.
Even though the weather is better, we all tend to do a little extra driving in the summer with the longer days and rising temperatures.
Between days out to theme parks, beaches and forests, the normal commute, and summer holidays that can take you the width and breadth of the UK (and abroad!), your poor car goes through a lot in the summer. Give it some lovely TLC every now and again, and it’ll get you from A-B without whinging.
These are our best tips to prepare your car for summer, so you don’t get caught short on the side of the M5.
