MINI Seasonal Vehicle Health Check

Whether you’re strapping your kayak to the roof and heading for the water or taking the family on a road trip, it would be comforting to know that your MINI is good to go when you are.

A Vehicle Health Check by our team of technicians, for just £39.99, will give you peace of mind that your BMW is performing at its best and is ready whatever the season.

My car feels fine, why do I need a Vehicle Health Check?

Whether it’s escaping for days out or heading off on holiday, we’re using our cars much more and that means we should be checking that they’re ready to handle the miles. Driving in different seasons can have different effects on your car causing potentially unseen issues that can lead to costly repairs if not taken care of in a timely manner.

Warmer weather can alter the temperature and effectiveness of your tyres. The heat can also cause your battery fluid to evaporate, affecting it’s performance and a lack of engine coolant can cause your car to overheat.

Colder weather can affect the performance of your brakes on wet slippy roads if they aren’t in good condition. Grit and salt on the roads can cause corrosion to mechanical elements on the underside of  your vehicle, for example the suspension,  if left unchecked as well.

These are just a few examples of why a vehicle health check is so important for your MINI.

 

What’s included in our Vehicle Health Check?

Our expert technicians will examine your MINI thoroughly, checking all the major safety features as well as closely examining the following:

Wheels & Tyres: Tread depth check, inspection of the general condition and we’ll adjust the tyre pressures if needed.
