Keeping Your Car Roadworthy Year-Round: Local Tips from R & J Car Services

Keeping your car roadworthy isn’t just about passing your MOT once a year it’s about regular care, safety checks, and preventative maintenance throughout all seasons.

At R & J Car Services Felixstowe, we help local drivers stay safe and avoid unexpected breakdowns all year round.

Stay on Top of Regular Servicing

Routine servicing is one of the best ways to keep your vehicle in good condition. Oil changes, filter replacements and fluid checks help prevent wear, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your engine.

Check Tyres, Brakes and Lights Often

Your tyres, brakes and lights are vital for safety and are common MOT failure points. Check tyre tread depth and pressure regularly, listen for unusual brake noises, and ensure all lights are working correctly — especially during darker winter months.

Seasonal Checks Matter

Cold weather can strain batteries, while summer heat can affect coolant systems. A seasonal vehicle check helps identify issues early and keeps your car performing reliably no matter the weather.

Don’t Ignore Warning Lights

Dashboard warning lights are there for a reason. If one appears, get it checked as soon as possible to avoid further damage or safety risks.

At R & J Car Services, we offer MOTs, servicing, repairs, winter & summer checks and inspections to keep drivers confidently on the road all year long.
