Spring Car Servicing: What to Check After Winter

Winter is hard on every car – grit, salt, cold starts and pothole-covered roads all take their toll. As the weather starts to improve, March is a great time to book a spring check-up and catch any issues before they turn into bigger repairs.

Check for pothole damage

Potholes can knock your wheel alignment out and damage suspension components without any obvious signs. If your car pulls to one side, the steering wheel vibrates, or tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s worth having your tracking and suspension checked.

Wash away winter grit and salt

Road salt speeds up corrosion, especially around the underbody, wheel arches and exhaust. A thorough wash, including the underside, helps protect your car’s bodywork and undercarriage from rust as the seasons change.
