We encouraging motorists to carry out regular basic car maintenance checks. Being able to do some simple checks ourselves could not only save money but it could help to ensure our car remains roadworthy, ensuring we and our family are getting safely from A to B.

The importance of looking after our car is highlighted following various research. It reveals around 7.2 million (21%) motorists claim no-one performs any basic maintenance checks on a monthly basis.

We should consider looking after our cars in the same way as we would our homes, carrying out regular checks and keeping the car well maintained will prevent it from breaking down and potentially needing work when it goes for its MOT.

People whose car warranty may have expired need to take care and ensure they are carrying out regular checks themselves and organising regular servicing.

Even those driving under warranty should be vigilant as they still have a duty of care for their vehicle between servicing, failing to keep oil or coolant topped up could result in a breakdown and a bill they're required to foot themselves.

Worryingly, the findings highlight that the most neglected check to be undertaken, despite being a legal requirement, is ensuring your car's tyre tread depth is at a minimum of 1.6mm. The survey revealed that just two in five (38%) motorists carry out this essential check on a monthly basis. We stock a range of tyres and will be able to help you with a new one while you wait.

Although these checks are basic, they are fundamental to keeping a car in good working condition; running out of engine oil could, for example, seriously damage your engine and repairs could be very costly. You could also put you and your passengers safety at risk; not having the correct tyre tread depth could, for example, increase your car's stopping distance which could have potentially dangerous consequences if you need to brake suddenly or stop in an emergency.
