As winter sets in, the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, you aren’t the only one feeling the pain.
Your vehicle is put under additional strain from freezing temperatures, wet and icy road conditions and the at-times constant running of devices such as heating and windscreen wipers.
Demands on electrical systems increase, causing batteries to work harder and putting your vehicle to the ultimate test. Slow cranking/starting first thing in the morning is a sign the battery is getting tired and may need replacing.
Tyres that may have gripped sufficiently on the dry roads of summer will not be as reliable as the roads get more slippery, and the amount of tread you need may not be something you have the knowledge, or time, to be aware of.
Low tread levels are more likely to lead to aquaplaning during wet weather, which can result in a complete loss of control at high speeds. Tyre pressure can also affect the way your vehicle handles on the road.
There is nothing worse (or more dangerous) than not being able to see where you’re going. Replacing wiper rubbers can be a challenge, and if you mess it up, scratched windscreens can be expensive to replace.
The safety of you and your loved ones is too important to risk. And that’s why RACT AutoServe Launceston is committed to keeping your car in excellent running order, giving you peace-of-mind on the road.
