Driving Tips: Snow

I travel in from Milton Keynes every day to Whetstone Audi and as you can imagine it has been a challenge with the recent weather. Here are some of the things I have been doing.

• I put a warm coat and boots into the car. I have also made a cup of tea in one of these cups that keep it warm on your journey.
• I check that there is enough washer fluid that does not freeze in the bottle. You will be amazed how often I use the washers with all the salt on the roads (sorry not much salt in the sides roads I know) .
• I also make sure that all the lights are working as I am very keen to see and be seen. Put a blanket in the car in case you are held up on the major routes. I am often told take a shovel with you , but if I am stuck it is usually because everyone is stuck. Then all I want is a snow plough. Read more…

Paul Lacy - Aftersales Mgr

Hi, my name is Paul Lacy and I am the new Aftersales Manager for Whetstone Audi. I have been here for ten weeks now and enjoyed meeting some of you already. Our technicians loved running the ladies night recently and my front line team enjoyed the relaxed conversations that allowed us to get to know you better.

Following on from the huge response we got from running the ladies evening I have dared to write some top tips to keep you and your car safe this winter.

2. Wipe your headlights and tails lights with a wet wipe. You’ll be surprised how much better your lights are when they are kept clean. See and be seen! Read more…
