Compare Land Rover winter check quotes from specialist garages

While Land Rover was founded in 1978, most people don't know that the Series I Land Rover actually predates the brand by 30 years, making it the second-oldest four-wheel drive vehicle in history. Land Rover is also closely linked to the Royal Family, providing the first bespoke ‘State Review' car in 1953.

The brand is associated with the spirit of adventure, and it's easy to see why; not only were its vehicles the first to cross the Darien Gap, but they were also supplied for "the Olympics of 4x4" - a competition in which teams of two would drive hundreds of kilometres, tackling the most challenging terrain, competing for a win in Land Rover cars.

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.
