The family car is the hub of modern life, faithfully transporting you and your family through school runs, weekly shops, work commutes and family getaways. With your most precious passengers on board, their safety is naturally your highest priority. It’s easy to assume a modern vehicle is safe straight off the production line, but taking a proactive role in your car’s upkeep and how you prepare for journeys makes a tangible difference.
Regular servicing and maintenance
Keeping up with your car’s servicing schedule is more than just a box-ticking exercise to preserve its resale value; it is fundamental to its safety. A qualified mechanic can spot underlying issues that you might not notice, such as worn brake pads or a slow leak in the cooling system, before they become dangerous failures on the road.
