Winter is on its way and many of you will be prepared for the bad weather with your warm coat and boots at the ready to help you make your journeys on foot. But how many of you have thought about getting your cars checked out to make sure they’ll get you to your destination come rain or snow? At the Hills Ford dealerships in you can have a 50-point winter heath check on your vehicle for just £19.99.

An experienced team of technicians will give your car a thorough going over; including checking that the condition of your lights, tyre condition and pressure, exhaust, battery and wiper blades are all in top working order. They’ll also check the levels of anti-freeze, screen wash, and oil, amongst other things. Included in the price is a one-litre anti-freeze top-up if required and a can of de-icer.

Your car will also get a free wash and vacuum Joint managing director, Richard Hill said: “Breaking down in bad weather is no fun at all and, while we can’t stop the rain and snow from falling, we can help to make sure your car is in tip top condition and best able to deal with whatever wintery conditions you are faced with. Ice, snow, heavy rain and strong winds are unforgiving when it comes to under-maintained cars. If you forget to top up your antifreeze, you’ll be going nowhere if the temperature falls below zero but if you do get on the move, you need to be sure your car is safe.

“It’s essential that your tyre treads are up to scratch at any time of the year but in wet or icy conditions you will really depend on them to give you more control, and greater braking ability. It’s also vital, for example that your wiper blades are capable of keeping your windscreen clear when the heavens open to give you better visibility. So give your car a winter health check and give yourself peace of mind.”
