It’s important to maintain a schedule of regular car servicing but if it has been a while since your car has been looked at, and you’re planning a road trip these summer holidays, now is the time to act.
Wyers for Tyres’ Jim Wyer says the Christmas school holidays is a busy time on the roads, with many escaping for a holiday or visiting family and friends.
“The last thing you need on a hot summer’s day is to break down and be stuck on the side of the road. Regular vehicle servicing is important all year, but if you have let it slip you should definitely book your car in before hitting the road,” Jim explains.
“Our workshop gets really busy in the lead-up to Christmas, so it’s a good idea to book your vehicle in as soon as you can to ensure it is ready to hit the road.
“From oil changes and brake inspections to battery replacements and fluid top-ups, our experienced technicians will keep your vehicle running smoothly.”
Jim and his team can also ensure your tyres are in tip-top condition.
They understand the importance of quality tyres for vehicle performance and safety, offering a wide selection from leading brands to suit all makes and models.
“We go above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, offering personalised recommendations and attentive assistance to meet your specific needs,” Jim says.
TOP TIPS
- Make sure your vehicle servicing is up to date before you head off on a road trip
- Check your tyres for wear and tear, and check air pressure
- Check water and oil levels
- Check wipers are working and water reservoir is full
- Check battery is in good working order
Wyers for Tyres is open Monday to Thursday, 7am-4pm and Friday, 7am-3pm.
