Stay safe on the roads this winter
Winter brings darker evenings, cold mornings and unpredictable road conditions. To help you stay safe and avoid unexpected breakdowns, Sweeney’s Garage is offering a completely free winter car check at our Dublin garages. Our experienced technicians will carry out a quick visual and safety inspection so you can head into the colder months with confidence.
There is no obligation and no hidden charges. If we find anything that needs attention, we will explain it clearly, provide a transparent quotation and only proceed with any work if you choose to go ahead.
What is included in your free winter car check?
Your free winter car check focuses on the items most likely to be affected by cold, wet and icy weather. We will:
- Check all exterior lights and bulbs, including headlights, brake lights, indicators and number plate lights, and confirm that the beams are aligned correctly.
- Test your battery condition and charging system to reduce the risk of non-starts on frosty mornings.
- Inspect your tyres for tread depth, wear pattern, damage and correct pressure, including the spare wheel where fitted.
- Carry out a visual inspection of your brakes and suspension for obvious wear, leaks or damage.
- Examine your wiper blades and washer system and check your screenwash strength is suitable for winter temperatures.
- Verify the operation of your heater, demisters and ventilation system so you can clear misted windows quickly and travel in comfort.
- Check coolant level and antifreeze strength, as well as engine oil and other essential fluid levels.
- Look over your windscreen and mirrors for chips or cracks and ensure that your registration plates are clean and clearly visible.
- Inspect the exhaust and underbody where accessible for signs of corrosion, leaks or damage.
- Note any other visible safety concerns and advise you on the best course of action.
Why a winter check matters
Cold temperatures, heavy rain and road salt all place extra strain on your vehicle. Batteries lose efficiency, tyres work harder to maintain grip and visibility can be reduced in an instant. A free winter car check is a simple way to reduce the risk of breakdowns, improve safety for you and your passengers and help you avoid costly repairs by catching issues early.
Whether you are commuting daily, driving a company vehicle or preparing for longer winter journeys to visit family, a short visit to Sweeney’s Garage can provide real peace of mind.
