Why Your Car Needs a Winter Preparation Service
Winter puts extra strain on your battery, tyres, fluids, and visibility systems. Our 14-point winter check makes sure your car is ready for cold Maidstone mornings, heavy rain, icy roads, and early darkness.
You get a full antifreeze change, Duxback windscreen treatment, and checks on your tyres, battery, wipers, belts, and essential fluids. We catch small issues early so you avoid breakdowns, poor grip, flat batteries, and expensive winter repairs.
Does the Winter Preparation Bundle include a top-up of my levels?
Yes. We change your antifreeze and top up your screen wash as part of the winter check. We also check your engine oil level, and if it needs topping up, we’ll let you know before doing anything extra.
Are repairs included in the price?
No. The Winter Preparation Bundle is a safety and readiness check to make sure your car is winter-prepared. If we find anything that needs repairing, we explain it clearly and only carry out the work once you approve it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book the Winter Preparation Bundle instead of a normal car service?
No. A winter check focuses only on winter-critical items like battery health, fluids, tyres, visibility, and basic safety. If your full service is due, we can book that separately or arrange it alongside your winter check.
Does the Winter Preparation Bundle include level top-ups?
Yes. We change your antifreeze and top up your screen wash. We also check your engine oil, coolant, and AdBlue levels. If any extra top-up is needed, we’ll tell you before doing anything.
What is Duxback?
Duxback is a special windscreen treatment that helps rain, snow, and dirt slide off more easily. It improves visibility in bad weather and makes your windscreen demist quicker on cold mornings.
Are repairs included in the winter check price?
No. The winter check covers inspections, tests, and antifreeze change only. If we spot a problem, we explain it clearly and only carry out repair work if you choose to go
How long does the winter check take?
Most winter checks take around 25-30 minutes, depending on your vehicle and what we find during the inspection.
Do you check tyre tread depth and pressures?
Yes. We measure tread depth on all tyres and top up the pressures if needed. If any tyre is close to the legal limit or shows uneven wear, we’ll show you before recommending anything.
Can you replace parts on the same day?
Often yes. We can usually replace tyres, bulbs, batteries, fluids, and other small items the same day depending on stock and workshop availability.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. Our 14-point winter check is a fixed £49.99, with no hidden charges. Any additional work is only carried out if you approve it first.
