What actually leaves the most UK motorists stranded at the roadside?

The AA has revealed its latest top five reasons for breakdown call-outs and some might surprise you:

πŸ”‹ Batteries
πŸ›ž Tyres
βš™οΈ Engine / clutch
πŸ”‘ Alternator / starter motor
πŸ’» Vehicle electronics

The interesting bit? Many of these don't suddenly go wrong overnight. There can be warning signs that something isn't quite right before you're left stranded.

That's why preventative maintenance and getting those little changes checked out really can pay off.

Noticed something different about the way your car starts, sounds or drives? Don't wait for it to become a breakdown, get it checked by our expert team.

The summer holidays are nearly over, which means busy school-run mornings are just around the corner.

Before September arrives, take a few minutes to check your car:

βœ… Oil level – especially if you haven't checked it over the summer
βœ… Coolant level – don't wait for a warning light to tell you it's low
βœ… Tyre condition & pressures – check tread, damage and inflation
βœ… Screenwash – topped up and ready for autumn road grime
βœ… Wipers – no smearing, juddering or missed patches
βœ… Warning lights – if one's appeared over the summer, don't keep putting it off

A quick check now could mean one less thing to deal with when the alarm clocks, packed lunches and school-run traffic return! πŸŽ’πŸš—

If you’ve noticed a vibration or shake through the steering wheel, particularly at certain speeds or when braking, it’s worth getting it checked.

There are a few possible causes, including:
πŸš— Wheel balancing
πŸ›ž Tyre problems
πŸ”§ Suspension or steering components
πŸ›‘ Brake issues

Sometimes it can be something relatively straightforward, but a shaking steering wheel can also be your car’s way of telling you something needs attention.

If yours doesn’t feel quite right, give the team a call and we’ll take a look. πŸ‘

Brake fluid isn't something most drivers think about but it's essential for safe, responsive braking.

Over time it absorbs moisture, which can reduce braking performance and increase wear on braking components.

Changing your brake fluid at the recommended intervals helps:
βœ”οΈ Maintain braking performance
βœ”οΈ Protect brake components
βœ”οΈ Give you confidence every time you drive

It's a simple piece of maintenance that helps keep you and your passengers safe.

Still heading away for a summer break?

A fully loaded car doesn't just use more fuel, it also affects how your car handles.
Before you set off:

🧳 Pack heavier items low down and as far forward in the boot as possible.
βš–οΈ Don't overload your vehicle.
πŸ›ž Check your tyre pressures if you're carrying extra passengers or luggage.
πŸš— Leave a little more space for breaking.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference to your journey.
