Compare Mitsubishi summer check quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

From staycations to road trips abroad, summer can be a busy time, and the last thing you need is for your car to break down. That's where a summer health check can help - it's a great way to ensure your car is safe for the season ahead.

It involves a thorough inspection of your car's fluids and key components, including the battery, windscreen, lights, wipers, tyres and brakes.

The technician will talk you through any areas that require maintenance, identifying potential problems before they become serious. That's why booking a summer check can save you money as well as giving you extra peace of mind.

Even if you're a pro at car maintenance - and good for you if you are! - the opinion of an expert mechanic can be invaluable for alleviating any niggling doubts about the safety and condition of your vehicle.
