Loaded for the weekend: servicing before the big trip
Weekends away, caravans on the drawbar, roof boxes and a boot packed to the hinges: the car is asked to do more than usual. For Forsbrook drivers who use their vehicle for leisure trips, a thorough service ahead of the journey is the sort of preparation that quietly pays off. Doing it well before departure leaves room to sort anything that comes up.
We can carry out servicing on any make, light or thorough, then give a clear account of the results so you leave with confidence. The inspection comes first, our honest advice second, and further repairs wait for your authorisation. Booking some time ahead of a planned trip leaves room to put right whatever turns up.
Heavy loads and long distances magnify any weakness. Brakes work harder with extra weight, tyres need correct pressures and good tread, and the cooling system and battery are tested when the car has to run for hours at a stretch. Towing adds strain on the clutch, brakes and engine too. A full service covers the key areas so you are not finding out about a problem on a motorway. Do give us a little notice so any parts needed can be arranged. We are 7 miles from Forsbrook.
Servicing follows your vehicle, its mileage and its manufacturer schedule rather than a one-size checklist.

It is a sensible precaution. A service covers brakes, tyres, fluids, cooling and lights, which are all tested on a long journey. Book early so any work found can be arranged beforehand. Early booking also helps if parts need ordering.
Not necessarily a different service, but towing puts extra strain on the brakes, engine and clutch. Tell us you tow and we will pay close attention to them. Your maker's schedule still applies, and brakes are likely to get a careful look.
Tyres are part of every service inspection. The correct pressures for a fully loaded car are often listed in the handbook, and we can help you find and set them. Mention the load when you book.
