What’s included in the Hendy Winter Health Check?

Priced from £39.99, the detailed check includes the following essentials:

Car Battery – We check batteries for their current state of charge, charging rate and for any parasitic drain.*

Lights – A check of all lights is carried out to make sure that they’re all functioning properly, especially important now the evenings are drawing in.

Fluid Levels – We’re on hand to test your brake fluid for moisture content*, screen wash content, coolant levels, anti-freeze content, and to top them up if necessary. Please note that additional charges for fluids may be applied.

Wiper Blades – Our technicians will ensure that the wiper blades are fully operational (important for navigating through the winter rain) and the rubber condition of the blade is suitable and will advise on the next steps as necessary.

Windscreen – Unnoticed chips and cracks can become an expensive problem down the line. Our diligent team will happily check these for you and provide the necessary maintenance.

Tyres – Even though the legal limit of tyre tread depth is 1.6mm,*** here at Hendy, driving safety is our top priority, and we advise our customers to replace their tyres if the tread depth is below 3mm.

Brake Inspection – Our expert team will ensure that brake pads, discs, shoes and the pedal are all thoroughly checked over and will provide guidance as required, especially as icy roads are on the way.

Important Information:


*Parasitic drain: The continual draw of power from the vehicle battery, even when the vehicle is off, caused by various electrical components. It is normal to have some amount of parasitic drain to keep functions like your car clock and security system maintained. An excessive parasitic drain can be caused by various reasons and therefore lead to a shorter battery life.


**Brake fluid hygroscopicity: Brake fluids are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb moisture from the environment. This means that water molecules are absorbed into the brake fluid, which can then cause chemical reactions with other elements in the brake fluid and system. Furthermore, this will increase vapour pressure build-up inside the braking lines under heavy braking, drastically affecting braking performance.


***1.6mm is the legal limit of tyre depth. If caught driving with illegal tyres, you risk a fine of up to £2,500 per tyre and 3 points on your driving licence.

^Air conditioning re-gas not applicable to Jaguar Land Rover, Performance vehicles and LCV product. Price based on a vehicle with a functioning and fault-free air conditioning system.
