Gillingham is in the unitary authority area of Medway in Kent. Watling Street is a Roman Road that passes through the town, and the Medway Tunnel provides access to the M2 and Strood. Gillingham railway station is situated on the Chatham Main Line. Between 2018 and 2020, 52,425 potholes were reported in Kent, the highest in the UK. If you drive in Gillingham regularly, you should check your tyres for damage and keep up with a regular servicing schedule.
Since Gillingham is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Gillingham.
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.
