What is a vehicle health check?

Every time we see your vehicle we carry out a visual inspection and provide a written report and video. This way you get to see exactly what our technician sees!

The following traffic light system allows us to ascertain the car's condition:
- Green - totally fine and no work needed
- Amber - a repair is not required now but we will need to check these items again
- Red - an issue has been identified and we recommend it being looked at urgently
Should we spot any amber or red items that could do with some attention then we of course fully explain why. We will also provide you with a competitively-priced quote to undertake the necessary work. Our video will show you exactly what our technician has seen.

If you do not wish to have the amber repair or replacement carried out on the day, our experts are more than happy to leave it a few weeks/months until contacting you to check how things have progressed since the health check. It may be that you want to bring your vehicle in again to assess the situation and find out whether the problem has deteriorated since it was last looked at.

To gain more of an idea of what the above entails and how exactly our technician videos are presented, please feel free to watch the following:
