Engine oil doesn’t get much attention… until it’s too late 👀

Your engine has thousands of moving parts working under heat and pressure every single time you drive.
And there’s only one thing keeping it all protected…

🛢️ Your oil.

Run it low, run it old or ignore it for too long and wear starts creeping in fast. Not always obvious at first… but it adds up.

Quick one…
Do you actually check your oil between services, or just rely on the warning light? 🤔

Better safe than sorry...book in with M&R and we will check it for you 📞07743 209969

Quick question… do you actually know what your car has for a puncture? 👀

A lot of modern cars no longer come with a full-size spare wheel.

The problem is many drivers don’t find this out until they’re stuck at the side of the road with a flat tyre.
It’s worth checking:

✅ Do you have a spare wheel?
✅ Is it inflated and usable?
✅ Do you know where the locking wheel nut is?
✅ Is your inflation kit still in date?

If you’re unsure, pop in and we’ll happily check and advise on your options

Most people blame winter when their battery finally gives up, but in reality, summer heat often does the damage first

High temperatures accelerate the chemical reactions inside a battery, increasing internal wear and causing fluid to evaporate faster. The battery weakens over time… then winter simply exposes the problem.

That’s why batteries often fail after hot weather, especially if they’re already a few years old.

Common warning signs include:
⚠️ Slow engine cranking
⚠️ Dim lights or electrical issues
⚠️ Stop/start not working properly
⚠️ Battery warning light
⚠️ Needing jump starts

The good news? A quick battery health check can often spot issues before you end up stranded.

We’re offering FREE battery health checks, just call in and we’ll test it for you
