Although the experienced staff at Meersbrook Service Station always tell you at MOTs and services when parts may be on the way out, they still see dozens of people leaving replacements and repairs to the last moment, or being surprised when they have a breakdown. “If something is on its last legs, don’t run the risk of it letting you down on the way to the airport. “Just because it’s still working now, doesn’t mean it’ll keep working. As long as the car is running, a lot of people aren’t bothered.

“They just bring it in when it finally lets them down, but if you’ve been warned, make sure you sort it,” explained Steve, who has been in the auto industry for more than two decades. Getting parts repaired sooner rather than later can also save you money, especially when it comes to brake pads. Leave them too long and you could find yourself paying double as you’ll end up grinding the discs down and having to replace them as well. No matter how desperate you might be to get on your way, make the basic checks before you set off on your travels.
It should only take several minutes to inspect your tyres, air-conditioning system, water and oil levels, but it could end up saving you a lot of hassle in the long run. Added Steve: “Some people keep a bottle of water in their car just in case they’ve forgotten to check their water levels or they find out they’ve run out or screen wash half way up the motorway. Check it all before you set off.”

ll set for summer? Your vehicle can come under added pressure at this time of year, so it’s wise to ensure it’s not going to let you down
WITH the six weeks of summer holidays drawing closer and closer, it’s easy to forget how many more miles your car will be racking up over the coming months.
Whether you’re planning day trips to the coast, driving to the airport or taking your car on holiday with you, chances are you’ll be using your vehicle more than usual, and loading it up with suitcases. Meersbrook Service Station’s Steve Ballard said: “The holidays will be here before you know it and a lot of people will have long journeys ahead of them, so make sure you do all the usual checks before setting off.
“Don’t make the mistake of leaving any niggles until the last minute, because garages are busy at the moment and they might not be able to sort it in time. “If you know there’s a problem then get your car booked in and get it sorted sooner rather than
