🚗❄️ ARE YOUR TYRES WINTER READY? ❄️🚗

The temperatures are dropping, the roads are getting wetter, and those frosty mornings are creeping in

But when was the last time you checked your tyres?

Your tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road, so keeping them in good condition is essential, especially during winter

🔧 Here's what to look out for:

✅ Tread depth – The legal minimum is 1.6mm, but we'd recommend at least 3mm for better grip in wet conditions.

✅ Tyre pressure – Cold weather can cause tyre pressure to drop, so check regularly.

✅ Cracks and damage – Look out for bulges, cuts or signs of wear.

✅ Uneven wear – This could indicate an issue with your wheel alignment or suspension.

🚨 Don't wait until you're sliding around on an icy morning to realise your tyres need attention

📍 Pop into The Garage in Eccleshall and let our friendly team help you stay safe on the roads this winter.

Your safety is always our priority

ECCLESHALL… LET'S TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

The Garage has been part of Eccleshall for over 50 years, and goodness, haven't things changed in that time

The cars, the shops, the businesses, the people… and probably a few hairstyles we'd rather forget

But one thing that hasn't changed is the wonderful community we're lucky enough to be part of.

So today, we want to hear from YOU

💙 What do you remember about Eccleshall years ago?

🏡 What shops or businesses do you miss?

🚗 Can you remember what the village looked like 20, 30 or even 50 years ago?

👋 Have you lived here all your life, or are you a more recent addition to our lovely community?

📸 And does anyone have any old photos of Eccleshall they'd like to share?

We'd absolutely love to hear your stories and memories in the comments

Let's see how much history we can uncover together

After all, The Garage isn't just a business in Eccleshall — we're proud to be part of its community and history. 💙

THE CLOCKS HAVE GONE BACK, AUTUMN IS WELL UNDERWAY… BUT IS YOUR CAR READY FOR WINTER? 🥶

The evenings are getting darker, the mornings are getting colder, and we're officially entering the season of scraping windscreens and wondering why we didn't leave the house five minutes earlier

But while you're digging out your winter coat, have you thought about getting your car ready too?

Colder temperatures, wetter roads and reduced visibility can all put extra demands on your vehicle.

So, here's what you should be checking:

🔋 Battery – Cold weather can expose a battery that's already struggling.

🛞 Tyres – Check your tread depth, pressures and general condition for those wet and slippery roads.

💡 Lights – With darker mornings and evenings, make sure all your lights are working properly.

🌧️ Wipers & screenwash – Good visibility is essential, especially with rain, frost and road spray.

🧊 Coolant & antifreeze – Make sure your cooling system has the correct protection against freezing temperatures.

🛑 Brakes – You want to know they're working properly when road conditions get tricky

Don't wait until you're stranded on a freezing morning to find out something isn't right

🔧 Not had your autumn/winter vehicle check yet?

Give the lads at The Garage, Eccleshall a call and get yourself booked in.

A little preparation now could save you a lot of hassle later!

🚗🐶 WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE PASSENGER?

We all have that one passenger we love having along for the ride… and probably one we'd happily leave at home

So, who's your favourite travel buddy?

❤️ Your partner – Great company… until they start commenting on your driving!

👧 The kids– "Are we nearly there yet?" approximately 47 times before you've even left Eccleshall

🐶 Your dog – Happy to come along, never complains about your music and always excited for an adventure!

😂 Absolutely nobody – Just you, your favourite tunes and a bit of peace and quiet

We reckon the four-legged passengers might win this one

👇 Tell us who's your favourite passenger

And if you've got a furry co-pilot, we'd LOVE to see a photo of them in the comments

Let's fill the comments with some happy faces (and wagging tails).

WHAT OLD-SCHOOL CAR FEATURE DO YOU ACTUALLY MISS?

Cars have certainly changed over the years… some things for the better, and others, well, we're not so sure

Remember when cars had…

🚘 Wind-up windows – A proper arm workout just to get some fresh air

📼 Cassette players – And the trusty pencil to rewind your favourite tape

💿 CD changers – Six albums ready to go, and not a Bluetooth connection in sight

🔑 Actual car keys – None of this keyless technology

🚗 Simple dashboards – Without 500 warning lights and a computer telling you everything you're doing wrong

And let's not forget when you could actually fix half the car yourself with a basic toolbox and a haynes manual

We've seen plenty of changes in the motoring world during our 50+ years of keeping Eccleshall moving.

But now we want to know…

👇 If you could bring back ONE old-school car feature, what would it be?

Or is there something about modern cars that drives you absolutely mad?

⏰🚗 IS YOUR CAR READY FOR THE CLOCKS GOING BACK?

The clocks haven't changed yet, but we're already preparing for those dark drives home

And no… using your phone torch isn't an alternative to fixing your headlights

With the clocks going back on Sunday 25th October, those evening commutes are about to get a whole lot darker.

So now is a good time to make sure your car is ready

💡 Headlights– Are they both working properly? Dim, damaged or faulty headlights can seriously affect your visibility.

🛑 Brake lights – Make sure drivers behind you can clearly see when you're slowing down.

🚦 Indicators– Check they're all working so other road users know where you're heading!

🌧️ Windscreen wipers – If they're smearing, squeaking or leaving streaks, it might be time for replacements.

🧽 Clean windows– Dirt, condensation and greasy windscreens can make glare from oncoming headlights even worse.

Remember, it's not just about being able to see… it's about making sure other drivers can see YOU

And with darker evenings, wet roads and autumn weather, good visibility is more important than ever.

Not sure everything's working as it should? Pop into The Garage, Eccleshall, and have a chat with the lads.** We'll be happy to help

🚗💙 WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 50 YEARS… BUT HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN COMING TO US?

The Garage has been keeping Eccleshall moving for over half a century, and in that time we've seen plenty of cars, plenty of changes and probably a few questionable hairstyles along the way

But one thing that's always made this garage special is YOU , our customers and local community.

Some of you have been bringing your cars to us for years, some have followed in your parents' footsteps, and others have only recently discovered us.

So today, we're feeling a little nostalgic and want to know…

🚗 How long have you been using The Garage?

🔧 Can you remember the first car you brought to us?

💙 Did your parents or grandparents use the garage too?

Or are you a fairly new customer who found us through a recommendation?

Let us know in the comments

We'd love to hear your stories and see just how far back some of our customers go

And to everyone who's supported The Garage over the years, whether it's been 30 years or 30 days…

THANK YOU

It's your continued support that keeps a small local business like ours going.

YOUR BRAKES SHOULDN'T BE MAKING THEIR OWN SOUNDTRACK

If your brakes are making more noise than your morning radio, it might be time to get them checked

With wetter roads, colder mornings and autumn well underway, making sure your brakes are in good condition is more important than ever.

So, what warning signs should you be looking (or listening!) out for?

🔊 Squealing or squeaking – Could be a sign your brake pads are wearing down.

⚙️ Grinding noises – This could mean your brake pads are severely worn, potentially damaging your brake discs.

🚗 Vibrations when braking– Could indicate an issue with your brake discs or other braking components.

🛑 A change in how your brake pedal feels – If it feels unusually soft, spongy or harder than normal, something may not be right.

⚠️ Taking longer to stop – Definitely not something to ignore

Why shouldn't you leave it?

What starts as a relatively simple brake pad replacement could turn into a much more expensive repair if worn components are left unchecked.

And more importantly, your brakes are one of your car's most important safety features

So if your car has started performing its own little concert every time you approach a junction… don't just turn the radio up

Pop into The Garage, Eccleshall and let the lads take a look. If your braking performance has changed significantly, don't continue driving until it's been checked.
