Question 1

What is included in a fluid level check?

Accepted Answer

During a free fluid level check our mechanics will check all fluid reservoirs, including engine oil, brake fluid and windscreen washer fluid. They will advise which, if any, fluids need to be topped up or changed and can also give advice on which brands of oil or fluid they would recommend for your vehicle. If you desire, they can then provide a quote for any fluid top-ups, replacements or flushes required.
