You should check your vehicle battery at least every six months, ideally before summer and winter. These seasonal shifts bring extreme temperatures that can seriously affect battery performance.
If your battery’s over 3 years old, it’s worth keeping a closer eye on it. Especially if your car’s been sitting idle or showing signs of sluggish starts.
Yes, we offer specialised services for hybrid and electric cars. Our technicians are trained to handle the unique needs of these vehicles.
If your new or old electric or hybrid vehicle leaves you stranded at the worst possible time. Our team at STR are here to turn your frown upside down and get you and your vehicle to where they need to be.
If your car overheats, turn off the engine and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes. Then, check the coolant level and add more if necessary. If the problem persists, bring your car in for a diagnostic check.
Do not keep driving when your engine is overheating. This can warp your engine and cause further expensive damage. Acting fast can be the difference between a quick repair or needing a new car.
Solent Transport and Recovery are happy to assist with vehicle recovery for non-running vehicles. Our flat bed trucks are the perfect way of making sure your car gets to where it needs to be.
