This simple, effective guide from Sainsbury’s Bank will help keep you and your car safe on the road.
No matter how good you are at taking care of your vehicle, there are always going to be times when you need to replace its parts. This is where BreakerLink steps into the picture, putting you in touch with a network of breakers around the UK, who are able to find you the parts you need.
However, before we consider a replacement, we always want to know we’ve extracted the maximum value possible from our car. This is achieved through a schedule of proper maintenance and diligent attention to changes in our vehicle’s performance.
Regular checks are not only a good way to keep your own car running as smoothly on the road as possible, but will also help prevent accidents due to impaired functioning or even faults, ensuring both your own safety and the safety of others on the road.
Sainsbury’s Bank has produced a useful guide that details a few simple checks that even a mechanical novice should be able to carry out to ensure their car is in good working order. There’s also a handy list of essential items that every driver should keep in their car before setting out on any journey, together with expert advice on what to do in the unfortunate event of breakdown or failure in your car when you’re on the road.
