Tyre Pressure

Correct tyre pressure will help use less fuel, be safer on the road and increase the life of your tyres. Beaurepaires will ensure your vehicle tyres are inflated correctly to specifications It is unsafe to drive on under- or over-inflated tyres and it costs you by using more fuel and reducing the life of your tyres.

Tyre Tread Depth

Any less than 3mm tread depth and Beaurepaires recommend tyre replacement. Worn tyres severely compromise your braking and cornering performance as well as putting yourself, passengers and other road users at risk. Make sure you get your tyres rotated regularly to ensure they wear evenly. It will help maximise the life of your tyres and reduce replacement costs.A handy tip: Get your tyres rotated every time your vehicle registration is due for renewal. Remember, your tyre condition and tread depth is checked at your vehicle’s WoF (warrant of fitness). If deemed too shallow and worn, your vehicle will not pass inspection and therefore is illegal to be driven on the road, and it won’t be covered by vehicle insurance. Should you drive and have an accident, you could be held responsible and face legal charges plus all repair costs

Battery Condition

Don’t get caught with a flat battery. Beaurepaires will check your car battery condition and if necessary top up the battery fluid, or supply and fit a replacement

Oil Level

Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It lubricates running engine parts to reduce friction and heat. Insufficient oil will cause your engine to burn and seize up. Always use the best quality oil to suit your engine. The less friction between parts of your engine, the easier these parts move and work – the less fuel you will burnBeaurepaires will check your engine oil level and advise if you need a top up with one of the superior Shell engine oils they stock
