Is your car battery ready for action and properly equipped for the winter? You can have it checked free of charge at a Bosch Car Service workshop. And if necessary we will replace it straight away with a new one and make sure the old one is disposed of properly.

Fitting of top quality Bosch batteries

Have you any idea about the current state of your battery? Most drivers probably do not give it a thought until they have a breakdown or their vehicle refuses to start. But if you have a battery check performed regularly at one of our workshops, we will always replace it when necessary. Advantage: It is better to spend a few minutes having a top quality Bosch product fitted rather than waiting hours for the breakdown service to arrive.

Winter leaves our experts cold. As soon as the weather turns cold your can hear and see it everywhere: Stuttering starters and stranded vehicles. A weak battery is usually the cause of the problem, as chemical processes slow down at low temperatures and greater frictional resistance occurs in the engine. Bad news for any starter battery – particularly when the alternator is not operating.

As if that were not enough, modern vehicles are fitted with ever more demanding electronic equipment – from start/stop systems right through to a variety of electrical loads. Which means that car batteries are increasingly becoming the domain of experts. And so we would seriously advise drivers never to change the battery themselves unless they have the necessary technical knowledge. It is always best to leave maintenance and replacement to the experts at our workshops – both in summer and winter.

The good news first: The number of people killed in traffic accidents is steadily declining. And now the bad news: There are serious faults in 20% of all the vehicles on the road. The inexpensive basic check from Guru Autolines Car Service provides reliable information on whether or not your vehicle is completely roadworthy. This can not only prevent accidents but also helps you to avoid fines and expensive repair work. You should nevertheless always keep an eye on the regular maintenance intervals, as only an expert can tell where potential hazards may lie.

Did you know? General inspection and exhaust emission testing are prescribed by law every 6 months for passenger cars. New cars have to be tested for the first time after the first year. To ensure you have no trouble obtaining the test sticker for your car, we recommend preliminary checking at one of the Guru Autolines Car Service workshops, where our experts will take a look at your lights and brakes for example and rectify any obvious shortcomings.
