Show Your Car Some Love This Winter

Winter is often unkind to our cars with snow, ice, rain, cold and road salt causing slow starts, no starts, corrosion and wear. More importantly, we are often unkind to our cars.

Most people don't maintain their car themselves these days due to lack of time, expertise and confidence. We therefore need to take time (and money) out to arrange for professionals to look after them for us. It's easy to forget to do this regularly. We can be a bit too laid back about car care and then have a shock when bad weather arrives and our four-wheeled friend doesn't behave as it should.

So what can go wrong? 

How to make sure it gets put right

Organising vehicle repairs, maintenance, servicing, MOTs and tyre replacements can be a stressful and expensive exercise.Many garages offer a free winter car check, but of course this is to attract you in and create further business, so if you aren't confident in dealing with a garage directly, you may feel you are paying for services and repairs you don't need.

There is a scheme which takes away all these concerns and ensures your car receives only the love and care it really needs when it needs it. TheCar Care scheme, delivered by Busy Bees Benefits through its experienced partners, provides motorists with a simple, cost-effective vehicle maintenance solution at any one of 15,000 approved service centres and includes scheduled reminders for MOT, servicing and repairs organised by qualified technicians. Members of the Car Care scheme will receive discounted parts and tyres.

Even if you have done everything you can to care for your car, unfortunately it might still let you down. Members of the scheme can add breakdown cover for just £2 per year. This includes access to Car Care's national breakdown service.

So show your car some love and take care on the road this winter.
