Wakefield dealership offers free puncture and windscreen repair service -- if you have certain type of car

With winter firmly upon us and darker nights and colder winter weather the norm, icy surfaces and reduced visibility can increase the risk of punctured tyres and chipped windscreens.

To prevent drivers being left out in the cold, Riverside Volvo, on Calder Park, Peel Avenue, offers a free windscreen and tyre damage repair service for any Volvo driver, regardless of their car’s age.

To take advantage of the service, Wakefield Volvo drivers can simply take their car to any Volvo retailer across the UK, where a qualified Volvo technician will check the damage.

In many instances, the problem can be repaired on the spot – providing a fast and convenient service that is free of charge.

In cases of more severe damage, the technician will advise the customer on alternative options to get them back on the road as soon as possible.

Richard Westerman, Service Manager at Riverside Volvo, said: “We know that the harsher winter weather can bring with it seasonal problems for drivers.

"Small issues such as tyre punctures or windscreen chips can be a nuisance to resolve, but if left untreated, these small inconveniences can lead to bigger, more costly replacements – not what anyone needs at the moment, and especially in the build-up to Christmas.

“We’re proud to offer the UK’s first free initiative to cover both tyres and windscreens – providing a service designed to quickly reassure drivers that their car is safe to drive and meets the Highway Code’s requirements without breaking the bank.

“Here at Riverside Volvo, we value all Volvo drivers, no matter how old their car may be. This service is the perfect way to help local drivers stay safe, secure and mobile, whenever they may need it.”

The legal minimum tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6mm, however, you should not risk waiting to replace them until the last minute as a significant amount of tread can be worn in just one emergency manoeuvre.
