Compare Audi A5 winter check quotes from specialist garages

Since it was founded in 1909, Audi has been at the forefront of automotive innovation. It was the first to conduct crash tests, one of the first to use a dual-clutch gearbox, and in 1921, became the first German manufacturer to make a production car, the Audi Type K, with left-hand drive.

Impressively, Audi is also the most successful carmaker in the history of the World Car Awards, winning 11 titles since 2005 and five World Performance Car Awards as of 2022.

A winter car check helps prepare your car for the harsh winter months. It typically includes an inspection of the tyres, brakes, battery, windscreen wipers, lights and fluids to ensure everything works correctly.

Problems with any of these components can be dangerous, but even more so when the temperature plummets and the days get shorter. You are significantly more likely to be involved in a road accident in the winter - booking a car check helps alleviate that risk.

Spotting an issue with your tyres is easy enough, but do you have the mechanical know-how to recognise a developing fault in the braking system? If the answer is no, a winter check could help you.

Having your vehicle inspected is about more than just safety; it's also about peace of mind. There's nothing worse than worrying about whether your car will make it to the end of a journey without breaking down. But after a winter car check, you don't have to.
