Seasonal Tips

Welcome to the Seasonal Tips section of Fleet Services.

Spring:

  • Wash your vehicle under its chassis to remove road salt and avoid the rot!
  • Top up your levels after a cold winter.

Summer (Holiday time):

  • Plan your route and include stops!
  • Check coolant level & fan belt to avoid overheating.
  • Check all tyre pressures and tread depth (don’t forget the spare).
  • Check other oil and washer bottle levels.
  • 5ltr fuel can and spare water.

Autumn:

  • Check lights.
  • Ensure windows are clear to avoid glare.
  • Antifreeze check to ensure it is sufficient strength to avoid freezing and costly repairs.

Winter:

  • Screen wash & wiper blades.
  • Ensure demisters and saloon heaters are working correctly.
  • Keep checking for coolant leaks.
  • Check tyre tread depths.

And just in case:

Shovel, antifreeze, blanket, road salt, tow rope and warm clothing.
