How do I check my tyre pressure?

It’s important that tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. This optimises your vehicle’s performance and keeps you safe. Check out our video
on how to check your
tyre pressures.

How to check and top up your engine oil level?

It’s essential that you have the correct oil for your car, and that it’s at the correct level.
Find out how to check your engine oil level.

What happens if my car fails its MOT?

An MOT is designed to check that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. Unfortunately, from time to time, vehicles fail to meet them. Read our blog post to find out more on MOT's.

How often should I have my car serviced?

How often your vehicle is serviced varies by make and model. Many vehicles notify the driver when their service is due by a warning light appearing on the dashboard. You can also consult your vehicle handbook to check when your
servicing
is required. If you have any questions about servicing please contact your local Arnold Clark Service Centre.
Find your nearest service centre

What are the most common maintenance items recommended by manufacturers?

[H3] Oil

Oil is vital to keep every part of your engine working well. Heat from the engine can break down the oil and if it becomes too thin, certain engine components will wear out fast.
[H3] Air Filter

Over time, your vehicle’s air filter can become clogged up with dust and dirt, reducing your engine’s horsepower. Air filter replacement depends how many miles you drive, but it’s good to have it checked regularly.
[H3] Brake Pads

A number of factors impact on how long your brake pads last such as:
Driving style, vehicle weight and quality all have an impact on how long brake pads last. Many vehicles now come with a built-in wear monitor.
[H3] Tyres

The quality of your tyres are crucial to your safety on the road and their life expectancy depends on many factors such as how you drive, road conditions and the brand of tyres you choose.
The minimum legal tread depth for passenger cars is 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre.
Don’t rely on guesswork. Watch our video showing you how to check your tyre tread. Or why not bring your car into your local Arnold Clark branch and we’ll check
your
tyres for free?

[H2] FAQs

[H3] Frequently askedquestions

[H4] What is car finance?

A car finance agreement is a credit agreement between you and the lender which allows you to pay the cost of your car in instalments rather than a lump sum.

[H4] I'm in negative equity with my current car - can I still get finance?

We can help you to work out the ideal time to change your car - pop into a branch and speak to one of our product consultants. Some of our lenders may be willing to underwrite this type of finance, either as an unsecured personal loan or a hybrid finance arrangement, where the car is on a secured agreement but the negative equity on a personal loan. Please remember that if you do finance the negative equity, you will be repaying it, and any interest, over the term of your new agreement.

[H4] What do you need to finance a car?

You simply need your debit or credit card (to pay the initial deposit) and your driving licence, as a form of identification.

[H4] Can I still get finance with a bad/poor credit rating?

That doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to arrange a finance deal with us. We work with more than 20 lenders to find the right finance package. Just let us know if you know you have a poor credit score, and we will try to match you with the most appropriate lender. Speak to one of our product consultants for more information.

[H4] What is PCP?

You pay an initial deposit, followed by monthly payments. At the end of your payments, a final larger payment remains. You can either pay this to keep the car, part-exchange for a new car, or hand the car back.

[H4] What is PCH?

You take control of the car for a contractual period and make fixed monthly payments. When the contract expires, you return the car, or take out a contract on a new one.

[H4] What is HP?

You pay an initial deposit, followed by monthly payments which are set by you. Once the final payment is made, the HP contract ends and you own the car.

[H4] I'm facing financial difficulties, what should I do about my existing finance?

If you are struggling financially and are worried that you might not be able to make your finance payments, we would recommend talking to the lender to discuss the options available to you. It is better to do this early on, rather than when you have already missed payments, which would be likely to affect your credit score.
The following organisations and charities also provide free, confidential and impartial debt advice and support. They can help you understand your wider financial situation and can even help speak to lenders on your behalf. The most important thing is that you seek help as early as possible to minimise any impact on your credit file.
