🚧 Wet Weather Wisdom 🚧

Any amount of rain can make the road slippery. Tyre pressures are more important than ever. Remember this is the only thing keeping your vehicle on the road.

Did you know the rubber on your tyres changes composition when they’re wet? This means you are more susceptible to punctures.

Stay safe! 🚗🛻

Yay for the first long weekend of summer! Are you planning a road trip this weekend? Sampson Automotive recommend conducting a basic five point safety check on your car before leaving.

👉 Tyres (are they safe? How are the tyre pressures?)
👉 Brakes (are they make a noise? Do they feel different?)
👉 Suspension (is it spongy? Does it make a noise?)
👉 Lights (are they all working?)
👉 Seat belts (do they lock on sudden braking?)

Travel safe! 🚗⛱🌴

How often do you check your tyre pressures? Did you know your tyres over time, loose pressure. This causes uneven wear and is often costly. We recommend checking your tyre pressures regularly to ensure you are getting the most out of your tyres. When your vehicle is serviced by us we routinely check all tyre pressures including the spare.

Drive your vehicle with the confidence of knowing it is always in optimal mechanical condition 🚗🚙.
