ACC UK Ltd, Winners of The Independent Garage of the Year 2015, Servicing, Repair & MOT Specialists based in the heart of Farnborough, Hampshire like
to give you hints and tips on maintaining your Volvo or Toyota to help reduce breakdowns and expensive car repair bills.
The blog this week is based around maintaining your tyres for our Volvo or Toyota drivers.
Caring for your car’s tyres will not only save you money, by reducing fuel consumption and tyre wear it will also keep it safe to drive your Volvo or Toyota.
Especially now we are in the months of winter and there will be ice on the roads, lots of surface water and an increase in pot holes. If your Volvo
or Toyota tyres are in poor condition they could blow out on the motorway – not good when you are travelling at high speeds, or you could lose traction
in wet or icy weather conditions causing you to skid and possibly cause a crash or hit a kerb, causing damage to your Volvo or Toyota or to another
road user or possibly a pedestrian. Familiarise yourself with the recommended Volvo or Toyota tyre pressures which you can find in your Volvo or Toyota
Car manual and check them regularly – every two weeks. This only takes minutes to do and you can do it when you fill up your car at the petrol station.
Whats a few minutes every couple of weeks in the grand scheme of things?
If your Volvo or Toyota Tyres are over or under pressure they will wear unevenly and will need to be replaced sooner – this means that you will not get
the most mileage out of your tyres costing you money to replace them earlier than anticipated. If you are a driver that clocks up a lot of miles annually
then this can cost you a lot of money unnecessarily. Check the tracking regularly too as wheels that are out of alignment wear unevenly – especially
if you encounter multiple pot holes on your journeys or have hit a kerb. Your local independent garage will check this for you. Depending on your car,
tyres can cost anything from £70 each – often a lot more, and when you replace tyres you normally do two together, so it makes sense to get the maximum
mileage out of them in the first place.
