Q: How long do car fluids last?

Different car fluids will last for varying amounts of time, therefore it's very important to check the fluids in your vehicle roughly every 4-6 months. Low or used up fluids can lead to serious and expensive engine damage. Having certain fluids in your car, such as windscreen wiper fluid, is a legal requirement in the UK.

Q: Can I drive with low fluids?

When some fluids are low you should avoid driving your car. For example, driving with little or no engine oil can result in a seized engine, which is very expensive to fix! Topping up your car fluids is part of good car maintenance and ensures the healthy functioning of your car. In the UK, it’s the law that some fluids, such as windscreen wiper fluid, must remain topped up at all times. So book your free fluids check now to avoid a dirty windscreen and unexpected fines!

Great reliable service. The local Fixter Hero has great customer service skills and always arrives on time. The work is done in a timely manner and my car comes back early or on time, with a clean. Would recommend the service to family and friends.

This was our first MOT with Fixter, and we are quite impressed with their service and the price, the car was picked up and delivered on scheduled time and was updated from beginning to end, I will certainly recommend them to friends and family.
