Summer motoring tips with Wade Motors
Siblings Sylvie and Sam Weibel have been running Wade Motors for the last six months.
A one-stop shop, Wade Motors takes care of all vehicles, no matter the make or model. It offers WOF checks, services, general and radiator repairs, also pre-COF checks and services for trucks. Importantly the team keeps up to date with the latest technology, specialising in diagnostics.
Higher summer temperatures combined with longer distances travelled and increased loads put stress on your car. This is because the cooling, braking, electrical systems, air-conditioning, automatic transmission and tyres all have to work that much harder.
Preventative mainte nance checks are imperative in helping reduce the stress on your car, ensuring your summer motoring is both safe and enjoyable, and avoiding uncomfortable trips with the family.
The team at Wade Motors can help your vehicle get ready before the holiday season starts. One tip is if your WOF inspection falls within the Christmas holiday period you can get your warrant pre-dated by up to 14 days so you don’t get caught out when you’re away on holiday.
Finally, before hitting the roads this summer, ask Wade Motors to check the condition of your tyres. Worn tyres can be problematic on wet roads. Wellmaintained tyres will ensure your car is safer to drive, help them last longer and save money in the long term.
Also batteries can fail without warning, so check your battery before embarking on holiday. Wade Motors offers free battery checks.
Under recent changes, New Zealanders with light vehicles (under 3.5 tonnes) registered after the start of January 2000 now only have to undergo annual warrant of fitness inspections rather than every six months. However the public needs to be aware they are responsible for the safety of their vehicle throughout the year, so should get regular check-ups and services with Wade Motors.
Summer also means many classic car festivals, events, parades and more convertibles heading out, so come and see the specialists at Wade Motors to get your classic car looking great and working well.
The team goes the extra mile for their customers, with courtesy cars at no extra charge, and pick ups/drop offs for your convenience.
They also do work for local businesses and their fleet vehicles, including trucks, vans and utes.
