🛞 **WHEN DID YOU LAST CHECK YOUR TYRES?**

October is Tyre Safety Month, and here's something worth remembering…

Your tyres are the only parts of your car that make contact with the road!

⚠️ Incorrect pressures can affect handling and tyre wear.

⚠️ Worn tread reduces grip, particularly in wet conditions.

⚠️ Hidden tyre damage can compromise safety.

The legal minimum tread depth for most cars is **1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around its entire circumference**.

But don't wait until your tyres reach the legal limit before thinking about replacing them.

**A few minutes checking your tyres could make all the difference.**

🚗 **Need your tyres checked or your vehicle serviced?**

🔧 INVESTING IN OUR TEAM = BETTER SERVICE FOR YOU 🚗

Our technicians have recently been out of the workshop and back in the classroom, completing specialist training with The Garage Inspector– a leader in the automotive industry

This time, it wasn’t about fixing cars – it was about improving how we run the workshop.

From better workflow and workshop processes to communication, efficiency and understanding how every part of the garage works together.

Taking time away from the tools to look at the bigger picture helps us build a stronger team and ultimately provide a better, smoother service for our customers. 🚗

We’re always learning, improving and investing in the way we do things – because standing still isn’t an option. 💪

Todays training is Lean Workshop for Technicians, presented to local vehicle technicians and garage owners by The Garage Inspector, Andy Savva.
Andy is, to the motor industry, as Gordon Ramsay is to the restaurant industry, so there are often some tears and harsh truths, but with criticism comes support, knowledge, experience and a whole load of passion for our trade.
Due to popular demand, we will be re-running this class on November 17th. Half of the places have already been taken, so be quick if you're interested!

🛢️ THE WRONG OIL COULD BE COSTING YOUR ENGINE…

🛢️ **Oil is oil… right? WRONG!**

There are loads of different oils for a reason. Different engines need different **viscosities, specifications AND additives**.

⚠️ Two oils can both say **5W-30** on the bottle — but one could be completely wrong for your engine!

A GOOD QUALITY oil with the **correct additives** helps protect your:
🔧 Engine
🌀 Turbo
💨 DPF & emissions system
🛢️ Against sludge, deposits & wear

💷 **Saving a few quid on the wrong oil could cost you thousands later.**

That's why we don't just pour in whatever 5W-30 is on the shelf.

**We check what YOUR engine actually requires.** ✅

👉 **RIGHT OIL. RIGHT SPECIFICATION. RIGHT PROTECTION.**

Because your engine deserves better than *“that'll probably do.”* 😜🔧
