Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road. Make sure they're up to the job. 🚗

Worn tyre tread can significantly reduce grip, increase stopping distances and make driving in wet conditions much more dangerous.

Keep an eye out for:
✔️ Low tread depth
✔️ Uneven wear
✔️ Cracks or damage
✔️ Loss of grip, especially in the rain

Not sure if your tyres are still safe? Pop into Lifton Automotive Services and we'll be happy to inspect them and give you honest advice.

Drive with confidence. Stay safe on every journey.

Poor performance? It could be something as simple as your spark plugs. 🔧⚡

Spark plugs might be small, but they play a big role in keeping your engine running smoothly. As they wear over time, you may notice:

🔹 Poor fuel economy
🔹 Difficulty starting your car
🔹 Sluggish acceleration or reduced performance
🔹 Rough idling or engine misfires

The good news? Replacing worn spark plugs is often a straightforward maintenance job that can restore performance, improve fuel efficiency and help prevent more expensive issues down the line.

If your car isn't feeling quite right, bring it to Lifton Automotive Services and we'll be happy to take a look.

Quick question... When was your brake fluid last changed? 🤔

If your answer is B or C, it might be time to have it checked.

Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially increasing your stopping distance. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it every 2 years, even if your vehicle feels fine.

A simple brake fluid change helps:
✔ Maintain safe braking performance
✔ Protect your braking system from corrosion
✔ Keep your vehicle performing as it should

Not sure when yours was last changed? We can check it for you and advise if it's due.

✔ Spot small issues before they become big ones
✔ Improve fuel economy

Could your tyres be the reason your car fails its MOT?

Your tyres are one of the most common reasons for an MOT failure, and it's something that's easy to check before your test.

If the tread depth is below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, your vehicle will fail its MOT and could also leave you with a fine and penalty points if driven on the road.

Not sure if your tyres are road legal? Pop in and let our team check them for you. We'll give you honest advice and, if replacements are needed, we'll help you find the right tyres for your vehicle and budget.

⚡ Electric van owners, there's good news.

Recent rule changes mean many electric vans weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes can now be tested under Class 7 MOT regulations, rather than requiring heavy vehicle testing.

That means:
✔ A simpler MOT process
✔ Lower testing costs
✔ More garages able to carry out the test
✔ Less hassle keeping your vehicle road legal

As electric vans become more popular with businesses, these changes make ownership a little easier and more practical.

If you're running an electric van and your MOT is due, we're here to help.
