Myth vs. Fact: Do I really need to check my tyres if the TPMS light isn't on?

MYTH! Your car’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a brilliant safety feature, but it usually only alerts you when a tyre has lost around 20-25% of its pressure.

On wet autumn roads covered in slippery leaves, even a minor drop in pressure or worn tread depth can drastically increase your stopping distance!

Quick Tip: Grab a 20p coin and insert it into the main tread grooves of your tyres. If the outer band of the coin is hidden, your tread is above the legal 1.6mm limit.

Don't let your October MOT slip through the cracks! 🍂🚗

September is historically the single busiest month of the year for UK MOT renewals, which means a lot of drivers who had tests due late last month or early this October are running close to their expiration dates.

Here is how to keep your vehicle legal and road ready without any hassle this month.

Check Your Due Date:
Search your vehicle’s registration online via the GOV.UK MOT status tool to see your exact expiration date. You can book an MOT up to a month minus a day before it expires and still keep your same renewal date for next year.

Pre MOT Quick Checks:
- Wipers & Screenwash: Top up your fluid and make sure the wiper blades don't leave streaks.
- Lights & Indicators: Have someone walk around the car while you check headlights, brake lights and indicators.
- Tyre Tread: Check that tread depth is well above the legal minimum of 1.6mm across the central three quarters.

📞 Call Ian & the team on 01773 571 271 or book your MOT online via our website to secure your October slot.

Welcome to October! ☕🍂

There’s been a proper autumn nip in the air a few mornings already this week! October officially marks the start of crisp morning drives, steam rising from the kettle in the workshop and that annual debate we all have at home… is it officially time to turn the heating on yet? 🥶

While the debate rages on at home, we’re keeping things warm and welcoming down at the garage. Whether you're dropping your car off for an October MOT, popping in for a quick tyre check or taking advantage of our Free Collect & Deliver service so you can stay cosy indoors, our team is here to make sure your month gets off to a smooth, stress free start.

So, spill the tea: Have you officially turned the central heating on or are you holding out for a few more weeks? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

(P.S. If your car’s heater or windscreen demisters are feeling a bit sluggish on these chilly mornings, give Ian and the team a quick ring on 01773 571 271, we’ll have you warmed up in no time!)

Breathe easy on your daily commute! 🌬️🚗

Myth: "Changing your cabin air filter is unnecessary, it’s just a nice to have."

Fact: A clogged cabin (or pollen) filter traps dust, dirt, pollen and debris before it enters your car’s interior. Over time, a dirty filter blocks airflow, makes your heater and demister work twice as hard and can cause unpleasant smells inside the vehicle.

Replacing a clogged filter with a fresh one makes an immediate difference:
🧼 Cleaner, fresher air inside the cabin for you and your passengers.
💨 Better airflow to quickly clear misty windscreens on chilly mornings.
🛠️ Less strain on your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning system.

It’s a quick, affordable maintenance item that keeps your car interior feeling fresh and working efficiently.

If your car’s ventilation feels weak or smells musty, get in touch with our team today!

First full day of Autumn! 🍁🚗

Lower sun, wet roads and cooler mornings mean your car works a lot harder from here onwards.

Autumn is the crucial time to catch the big things before winter sets in:
🛑 Brake Performance: Essential for sudden stops on slick, leaf covered roads.
🔋 Battery Health: Cold mornings put serious strain on older batteries.
🛠️ Full Servicing & Suspension: Keeping your steering sharp and engine running smoothly through the damp weather.

Don't wait for a breakdown in the cold. Give us a call today to book your autumn service or safety check! 🔧

I wonder if we should reinstate the fuel pumps at the garage? 🤔

They certainly wouldn't be anywhere near the same price as back in the day! 🤣

How to spot worn brakes before it’s too late 🛑

Brakes are one of those components you don't think about until something feels wrong. Catching wear early keeps you safe and prevents costly damage to other components like brake discs.

Key signs your brakes need attention:

🔊 A high pitched squeal or metallic grinding sound when stopping.
🦶 A spongy or soft feeling when pressing the brake pedal.
🚗 The car pulling slightly to one side under heavy braking.

Noticed any of these signs recently? Let our expert mechanics in Marehay take a quick look and give you complete peace of mind.
