PartsInMotion.co.uk is highlighting the importance of motorists checking their vehicles as we emerge from the winter.

Sprayed roads can make suspension springs corrode over time, and potholes caused by freezing conditions are infamous for punctures and wheel damage. Batteries are working overtime in the cold weather to start engines and vehicle fluid, oil, antifreeze, transmission etc, start to thicken and move less freely which leads them to be forced through seals and cause tearing.

Now that the worst of the cold weather is behind us, PartsInMotion.co.uk is advising drivers to complete a pre-Spring check of their vehicles, as some light wear and tear caused by the typical wintry road conditions can be fixed before it leads to a longer-term problem.

Matt Gates, director of PartsInMotion.co.uk, said: “The hazards associated with driving in winter can cause unseen damage to our vehicles’ key components. We’re all too familiar with the story of potholes, but it’s still important that drivers check their cars despite improving road conditions as we head into spring due lots of other factors affecting a vehicle in winter.”

PartsInMotion.co.uk suggests that drivers visit their local garages, to have checks made to the vehicle including air compressors, wheel alignment and steering, as damage to these components are more common in the cold, harsh weather conditions of winter.
