How you can ensure your car is road ready in winter at Newham in Truro

Monday 19th February, 2018

Winter can take its toll on your car – from potholes to chipped and cracked windscreens and freezing road temperatures; motorists need to be confident that their vehicle is in top condition.

Newham is well known for the range of repair and servicing companies based at the riverside business district, with customers receiving a high quality service and knowledge at a competitive price.

If your car gets damaged and is in need of TLC, DB Bodyworks is the place to visit. A paint specialist with a strong background in auto spraying, owner Dan Bond and his apprentice Ryan revamp between 10 and 15 cars a week. Working on everything from scratches and bumpers to wing mirrors and dents as well as carrying out custom re-sprays, DB Bodyworks has built up a strong reputation with private and business clients. In fact, the company carries out regular work for other Newham-based motor companies.

Aiming to complete work on each car within two or three days, DB Bodyworks also offers an extra transport service for customers. After dropping off a car at the Newham business, customers can be driven back into the centre of Truro and to the bus or train station.

Tyre check

A Cornish winter can throw everything at motorists; one minute it can be gloriously sunny, the next you could be deluged by showers or even found yourself driving through a snow flurry – the case for many a driver recently when the Duchy experienced its first snow showers in eight years.

One way to be ready for any weather eventuality, is to check and replace your tires when needed. MJB Tyres at Newham is one of four branches based throughout Cornwall and also carries out other car repairs. The company offers a wide range of tyres with a highly experienced team who are on hand to offer expert advice.  A main dealer for Cooper-Avon tyres in Cornwall, MJB provides a free manufacturers-backed warranty on Cooper car tyres.

Working on around 40 cars a week, family-run Brooklands Garage can deliver services, MOTs and repairs for a range of cars including classic vehicles through its separate firm, Brooklands Classics. The company also has used car stock for sale. Brooklands is a hive of activity with a quality, friendly service at the heart of everything. The popular firm can even run customers back into the city centre or the local area after they drop off their car at Brooklands.

ATS Euromaster offers tyre services for everything from cars to trucks and agricultural vehicles. The company also carries out engine diagnostics, brake, battery and exhaust checks among other services - all completed by a team of expert technicians. Customers can also enjoy a free coffee and WiFi while they wait for their motors to be maintained.
