As winter approaches and temperatures begin to drop, now is the ideal time to make sure your car is ready for the colder months ahead. Frosty mornings, damp roads, and salt on the tarmac can all make driving more demanding — and tougher on your vehicle too. A few simple checks and timely maintenance can make all the difference, helping you stay safe, avoid breakdowns, and keep your car performing at its best throughout winter.
We’re especially delighted to welcome MG customers to our newly appointed Birchwood MG dealership in Eastbourne. Following changes to MG representation in the local area, Birchwood has been selected as the official MG Sales and Service Centre.
That means MG owners in Eastbourne, Bexhill, and the surrounding areas now have a dedicated, manufacturer-approved MG dealer for all servicing, repairs, parts, and warranty requirements. Only an authorised MG dealership can perform warranty repairs — and our team is fully equipped with MG’s latest diagnostic systems, technical support, and official replacement parts to care for your car exactly as the manufacturer intended.
We’re encouraging all local MG owners — whether you drive a ZS, HS, MG4, or the exciting new Cyberster — to book your next service or repair with Birchwood MG. Our team is here to offer a warm welcome and professional main-dealer service, backed by competitive pricing and great value offers.
To help local drivers prepare for winter, Birchwood is currently offering:
Our Winter Check is a quick, affordable 10-point inspection designed to ensure your car is ready for whatever winter brings. It includes:
It’s the ideal way to catch small issues before they become big problems and to keep your car running safely and efficiently all season long.
In addition to professional servicing, there are simple checks every driver can make to stay safe through the colder months:
- Check your battery – Cold weather reduces battery performance. If your car is slow to start or the lights dim, have your battery tested before it fails.
- Top up essential fluids – Make sure your screen wash is winter-grade so it doesn’t freeze, and keep oil and coolant topped up for reliable performance.
- Inspect your tyres – Tyres with at least 3mm of tread provide better grip and shorter stopping distances on wet or icy roads. Check pressures regularly too.
- Keep your windows clear – Replace worn wiper blades, clean glass inside and out, and ensure all lights are working. Always clear snow and ice completely before driving
- Protect your paintwork – Salt and grime can damage your car’s paint and underbody. Regular washing helps prevent corrosion and keeps your vehicle looking its best.
A little preparation now can make all the difference later. Whether you need a winter check, a scheduled service, or a manufacturer warranty repair, the expert teams at Birchwood are here to help. With genuine parts, specialist knowledge, and great-value offers, we’re dedicated to keeping our customers safe and confident on the road.
If you’re an MG owner, make Birchwood MG your trusted dealership for servicing, repairs, and warranty work. We’re here to keep your MG in perfect condition and ensure your ownership experience remains smooth and enjoyable.
