There are six major roads in and out of Aberdeen, which is one of the oldest cities in the UK. There is a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the city centre, covering all of Union Street and extending from Albyn Grove in the west to Commerce Street in the east. However, it won't be enforced until 2024. Robert Davidson, the pioneer who invented the world's first electric vehicle over 200 years ago using zinc-acid batteries, was from Aberdeen.

A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is in operation in Aberdeen. It was introduced in 2008 and covers most of Greater London, including some sections of the M1 and M4 but excluding the M25. The purpose of the LEZ is to discourage the most polluting diesel vehicles from driving in London. Unlike the ULEZ, which doesn't operate on Christmas Day, this zone is enforced all year round. How much you pay depends on your vehicle - it can be between £100-300. Find out more in this guide.

Driving in cities like Aberdeen puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Aberdeen for all these crucial components.

An interim car service - sometimes called a minor car service - involves inspecting several key car components and systems, including a safety assessment, engine oil change and fluid check.

The car service schedule for an interim service is every six months or every six thousand miles. As a driver, following this guidance is smart because if you don't, you may not realise a problem is developing, and it could cost you more money later down the line. Interim services can catch potential problems early.

The difference between an interim and full service is the number of components checked; a full service is more comprehensive. Likewise, the difference between a vehicle health check and interim service is that the former only includes the inspection of various parts. In contrast, the latter may consist of an oil change and the topping up of other fluids.
