Air conditioning cools the passenger cabin during warm weather and helps de-mist in winter by removing excess moisture, but a poorly maintained system can result in headaches, watery eyes, runny nose and poor vehicle performance thanks to the growth of bacteria within the system. Car and van air conditioning systems will tend to lose refrigerant over time as it leaks out through the joints in components.

Battery failure is one of the most common causes of vehicle breakdown, and there are usually no warning signs that your battery is about to fail. The average life expectancy of a good quality battery is 5 - 7 years, but this will depend on many factors such as the vehicle not being used for long periods or being mainly used for short journeys.

Correct wheel alignment is one of the key tyre maintenance factors to ensure optimum performance, ensuring that the tyres are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other so your car will travel in a true straight line. Big In Rubber for Tyres Frodsham offer a FREE Wheel Alignment check to make sure your tyres are running on the correct path.

It is vital that your wheels are always balanced for car safety, performance and efficiency. Wheel balancing is simply the service undertaken to ensure that the weight of the car is evened out around the axel. Every time you have a new tyre on your vehicle it needs to be rebalanced. Garages replacing flat and worn out tyres generally do this before you leave the garage.

Regular routine maintenance of your vehicle is essential and can be something that is easily overlooked. Most owners plan to service their car every year or 12,000 miles - whichever comes sooner. Different vehicles require different servicing levels depending on the age, make and model of vehicle; you should always refer to your vehicle manufacturer's handbook for detailed information.
