Mechanic checking engine bay at a cinch service centre

  • Check all lights are in working order

  • Check your wipers are in good condition

  • Check your mirrors (inside and out) are free from cracks

  • Check your tyre tread using the 20p test

  • Check the horn works as it should

  • Top up your screenwash, brake fluid and oil (unless you're getting a service done at the same time - in which case, that'll be done for you)

  • Give your car a spring clean inside and out, including the number plates
