Free Tyre Safety Check
Free Tyre Safety Check for your Citroën
Regular tyre safety checks reduce the risks of an incident while on the roads, however an estimated one-in-five drivers have never checked the tread on their tyres, a startling number which rises to one-in-three among young drivers. Checking and maintaining tyres also reduces the cost of motoring as underinflated tyres will wear quicker and cause the vehicle to use more fuel.
So we'd like to encourage you to check your tyre pressures (which is a quick and easy job to do) or pop in for a quick and simple check with us and we'll do this for you completely FREE OF CHARGE. Simply call or email us to book at your convenience, stating you'd like a FREE TYRE SAFETY CHECK.

But if you’d rather do this yourself, you’ll need to follow a few simple rules..
- Check your pressures when the tyres are cold, i.e. you've driven less than a couple of miles.
- Use an accurate and reliable pressure gauge.
- Check your pressures against the vehicle manufacturer's recommended settings for the load being carried. These can be found in the vehicle handbook, inside the fuel filler cap or on the drivers door sill.
- Check the pressure in all four tyres and dont forget the spare if your car has one.
- When checking the pressures, also give each tyre a visual inspection to ensure it is in good condition. Look out for any bulges, lumps or cuts and remove any stones from the tread. If something doesn't look right, then have it inspected immediately by a tyre professional.
- Replace the valve caps after checking the tyre pressures.

The benefits of correct air pressure in your tyres..
- Your tyres last longer. If you drive with tyres which are underinflated by 20% they might only achieve 80% of their optimal life span, meaning you'll need to change them more regularly.
- Your fuel goes further. When your tyres are underinflated by just 20% (around 6psi) 3% more fuel is used, adding unnecessary expense to your motoring bills.
- Improved handling & braking. If your pressures are correct your vehicle will be easier to control, making you less likely to be involved in an incident.
- You'll improve your safety and reduce the risks on the road. On average, 1100 casulaties a year result from incidents where illegal, defective or underinflated tyres were a contributory factor.
ENSURE YOU CHECK YOUR TYRE PRESSURES AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND BEFORE ANY LONG JOURNEY. IF IN DOUBT ABOUT THE CONDITION OF YOUR TYRES, THEN PLEASE BOOK IN WITH US AND LET US REASSURE YOU.
