DEKRA Safety Check: 10 reasons why you need one

Alright, let's talk about the DEKRA Safety Check. Think of it as your car's health check-up before a big road trip. It's a proactive way to ensure your car is in tip-top shape and ready to hit the road without any hiccups. If you're still unfamiliar with what a Safety Check actually entails, no worries. We'll cover what it is and give you reasons why you should bring your car in for a DEKRA Safety Check.

Sending your car for a checkup isn't something your friend who knows how to change a tire can do instead to save you a few bucks. The DEKRA Safety Check is a comprehensive examination that covers 21 safety items of your car. These items might not be part of your standard manufacturer's service plan, but they're crucial for your safety. We're talking about things like your tyres, brakes, windscreen, wipers, side mirrors, lights, and fluid levels.

The best part about our Safety Checks? They are done by a qualified vehicle examiner! These folks know their stuff and they'll make sure your car is safe and ready for the open road. And if they find anything that needs fixing, they'll give you the lowdown on how to rectify the situation.

And if you're worried that this checkup will break the bank, don't be. Our Safety Check is easy on your pocket but big on safety, and it's a small price to pay for peace of mind, knowing your car is ready to take you wherever you need to go and you'll get there in one piece.

So, before you hit the road, get in touch with your closest DEKRA and book a Safety Check. It's quick, thorough, and could be the difference between a smooth ride and a breakdown on the side of the road.
