With Dorking driving home for Christmas, one of our long-standing experts is giving their top 5 travel tips…
Dorking Service Centre have been proudly keeping our town moving for 21 years, and now they’re sharing their advice for safe winter driving this festive season:
Book your winter car check early
Cold weather can be tough on your vehicle. A service or MOT before you set off gives you peace of mind for the journey ahead.
Check your tyres & battery
Frosty mornings can affect both. A quick check now could save you from a chilly roadside surprise later!
Pack a winter essentials kit
Blanket, de-icer, torch, snacks, small things that make a big difference if you’re delayed in cold weather.
Top up your antifreeze & screenwash
Winter roads mean salty spray and icy windscreens. Keep everything topped up so your visibility stays clear and safe.
Plan extra time & stay connected
Journeys can take longer in winter. Check the forecast, allow extra time, and let someone know your route.
Keep these tips in mind for your Christmas travel, and get in touch with Dorking Service Centre if your car needs a little TLC.
