Signs your brakes are overheating

Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle, so it’s important to recognise the warning signs before a small issue becomes a bigger problem.

Signs your brakes may be overheating include a burning smell, reduced braking performance, unusual noises, vibrations through the pedal or steering wheel, and brakes that feel less responsive than usual.

Overheating brakes can be caused by heavy braking, worn components, sticking brake parts, or towing heavy loads. Ignoring the signs could affect your safety and lead to more costly repairs.

At Ireton Road Garage, we can inspect your braking system and provide honest advice to keep you safe on the road.

Common reasons cars fail their MOT

An MOT failure doesn’t always mean a major repair is needed. Many common issues are caused by small problems that could have been spotted and fixed beforehand.

The most common MOT failures we see include worn tyres, faulty lights, brake issues, windscreen damage, worn wipers, suspension faults, and emissions problems.

A simple check before your MOT could help you avoid unexpected repairs and delays.

What happens during an MOT?

An MOT is more than just a quick check - it’s a thorough inspection to make sure your vehicle meets essential safety and environmental standards.

During your MOT, our technicians inspect key areas of your vehicle including the brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension, seat belts, exhaust emissions, and visibility components such as your windscreen and wipers.

If your vehicle passes, you’ll receive your MOT certificate. If any issues are identified, we’ll explain what needs attention and provide honest advice on the best next steps.

At Ireton Road Garage, we carry out professional MOT testing to help keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and ready for the road.

📅 Book your MOT today and keep your vehicle road ready.

While freezing temperatures are known for causing battery problems, summer heat can be just as damaging.

High temperatures speed up the chemical reactions inside your battery, causing it to wear out faster and reducing its overall lifespan.

Hot weather can also cause battery fluid to evaporate, leading to internal damage and making it harder for your battery to hold a charge.

The good news? A quick battery health check can identify potential problems before you're left stranded.

If you're unsure about the condition of your battery, pop into us at Ireton Road Garage and our team will be happy to check it for you.

Tyre Safety & Tread Checks 🛞

Your tyres' condition really matters. Worn or under-inflated tyres can affect braking distance, grip, and overall safety, especially in wet conditions.

✔️ Check your tread depth regularly (legal minimum is 1.6mm)
✔️ Look out for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear
✔️ Keep tyre pressures at the correct level

Not sure if your tyres are safe? We can check them for you quickly and professionally here at Ireton Road Garage.

Pop in and have a chat with our team - we’re always happy to help.

What's in your boot could make all the difference in an emergency.

Every driver should keep a few essentials on hand, including:
✔️ A warning triangle (where legal to use)
✔️ High-visibility vest
✔️ First aid kit
✔️ Torch with spare batteries
✔️ Jump leads
✔️ Tyre inflator or repair kit
✔️ Bottle of water
✔️ Phone charger
✔️ Ice scraper (even in summer, it's handy to have year-round!)

Being prepared can help you stay safe and get back on the road quicker if the unexpected happens.

Does your air conditioning still blow cold?

If it’s struggling to keep up, blowing warm air, or taking longer than usual to cool your car, it could be a sign your system needs attention.

Over time, refrigerant levels drop and your A/C system can lose efficiency, especially during hot weather when you need it most.

✔️ Weak airflow or warm air? Get it checked
✔️ Strange smells? It may need a clean
✔️ Not cooling like it used to? Don’t ignore it

A quick A/C check can restore comfort and help prevent bigger, more expensive issues later on.

Bring your vehicle to us at Ireton Road Garage and let our team take care of it!
