Free, fun, honest

How healthy is the family car, honestly?

Seven questions, about a minute. No typing, and we will never ask for your contact details. The car already knows the answers, this is just you admitting them.

The Family Car Check-Up

Ready when you are.

Answer honestly. Nobody is watching, and the score comes with advice, not judgement. Well, a little judgement.

No email. No phone number. No sign-up. Not now, not at the end, not ever. Just the score and honest advice.

Behind the questions

What we actually check.

Every question maps to something we look at every day in the workshop. If the quiz flags it, we can fix it.

  1. 01Servicing history

    Oil breaks down whether you drive or not. An annual service is cheaper than the thing an annual service catches. Servicing

  2. 02Warning lights

    Amber lights are the car asking politely, and they do not fix themselves. A diagnostic check reads the fault in minutes. Diagnostics

  3. 03Tyres

    The legal minimum tread is 1.6mm. Below that it is 3 points and up to a £2,500 fine per tyre. We check them free. Tyres

  4. 04Noises

    Noises are cheapest at the whisper stage. By the time it is a clonk it has usually invited friends. Repairs

  5. 05The MOT date

    No MOT usually means no valid insurance. Our homepage checks your due date free in ten seconds. MOTs

  6. 06Fluids

    Low oil is the fastest way to turn a small bill into an engine. Thirty seconds with the dipstick, once a month. Free healthcheck

  7. 07Brakes

    A longer pedal or a pull to one side is never a personality quirk. Brakes are the one thing we say drop everything for. Repairs

Whatever you score, the real version is free: our On the Road Healthcheck comes with any MOT or service, no obligation, honest answers.
