LUTON, UNITED KINGDOM – February 17, 2010: As the UK continues to face the coldest winter in over three decades, UK motorists need to check their vehicles are in a fit condition to face the unusually harsh weather that seems set to continue.

With temperatures falling to -17 degrees in Scotland and almost the entire country experiencing snow at some point, the UK’s road salt reserves were exhausted. Cars have taken a pounding this winter and with more snow predicted in areas, now is the time to ensure your vehicle is in tip-top condition!

To help motorists, Vauxhall MasterFit is continuing its comprehensive Winter Safety Check & Top Up, which includes a 25-point visual safety inspection of your vehicle, a top up of all vital fluids and a tyre pressure check – all for just £35. Each vehicle checked will receive a complimentary Winter Car Care Pack, worth over £12, which includes a window de-icer, an ice scraper, de-misting pad and antifreeze screen wash and clearview solution.

A spokesperson for Vauxhall Aftersales comments: “Regular servicing and checks are vital for trouble free motoring, particularly after the extreme conditions this winter has thrown at the UK’s motorists. Our highly trained Vauxhall technicians, who understand your vehicle, can help reduce the chances of incident and breakdown with the comprehensive Winter Check & Top Up. They’ll also remind you that using air conditioning is not just for summer as it’s the best way to de-mist your car – now is a good time to make sure your air con system is working properly.”
