❤️🏍️ Supporting Our Local Blood Bikes 🚑

We’re proud to support our local Blood Bike volunteers and the incredible work they do for the NHS and our community.

As part of our commitment to supporting this vital service, we’re pleased to help maintain and keep the Blood Bikes on the road, ensuring these dedicated volunteers can continue delivering essential blood, medical supplies, samples and other vital items when they’re needed most.

It’s a privilege to play a small part in such an important service. The riders and drivers give their time freely, often at all hours, to help keep these life-saving deliveries moving.

From everyone here at Central Garage Lakenheath, thank you to all the Blood Bike volunteers for everything you do. 👏❤️

We’re proud to support you and help keep you moving.

🏍️❤️ Local support. Vital service. Proud to help.

Today is Blood Bike Awareness Day 2026. 🏍️🚗❤️

Across the UK and worldwide, thousands of dedicated volunteers give their time to support the NHS and their local communities.

Blood Bike charities transport vital items including blood products, samples, medication, human milk and other medical supplies — helping ensure they get where they are needed, when they are needed.

And despite the name, Blood Bikes is about much more than motorcycles.

It’s the riders and drivers out on the road. The controllers answering the phones and coordinating jobs. The fundraisers who keep the wheels turning. The fleet, training and administrative teams. The trustees and all those working quietly behind the scenes.

Today we’ll be celebrating all of them and sharing a little more about the people, organisations and work behind the Blood Bike name.

Together, we keep vital supplies moving.

Is your car trying to steer you in a different direction? 🚗

If your vehicle is pulling to one side, the steering wheel sits off-centre, your tyres are wearing unevenly or you can feel vibration through the steering wheel, it could be time for a wheel alignment check.

Correct alignment helps your tyres wear evenly, improves handling and can prevent unnecessary tyre costs. Ignore the warning signs and a small alignment issue can quickly ruin your tyres : leading to a much bigger bill. 😬

Give your car a proper once-over and drive away with confidence. Call or book online on our website today.

Around 7% of cars fail because of something as simple as empty screenwash or a tiny tear in a wiper blade. 🧼

Don't let a £2 bottle of wash stand between you and a pass. Top it up and check for any smears on your screen.

A clear view is a safe view. Top up that washer fluid!

Is your car a ticking time bomb? 💣

A snapped timing belt doesn't just mean a tow truck: it means a dead engine and a bill for thousands. When it goes, it takes the valves and pistons with it. One second you're driving, the next, your engine is scrap metal.

Whether you're a local resident or part of our USAF community at Lakenheath and Mildenhall, don't gamble with your car's life. If you can't remember the last time your belt was checked or replaced, you’re playing a very expensive game of chance.

Prevention is a tiny fraction of the cost of a replacement engine. We’ve seen too many cars come in on the back of a recovery truck that could have been saved with a simple diagnostic check. This is post 3 of 20 in our essential maintenance series: make sure you're still on the road for the rest!

Don't wait for the snap. Give us a ring today and let the experts take a look.
