Luton – With last year’s treacherous winter driving conditions still fresh in the memory and the first snowflakes starting to fall, Vauxhall MasterFit retailers have the complete winter product range to help keep you safe and on the move.

A great value Winter Service package at just £129* that comes with a free set of AutoSock Snow Socks worth from £49.95 gives you a smart way to ensure you’re ready to face the elements – all carried out by Vauxhall trained technicians.

AutoSock Snow Socks are the easy-to-use alternative to snow chains.  A big hit in 2010, the textile covers simply slip over your wheels to get you out of a slippery situation in snowy and icy conditions. From £49.95, these versatile socks will fit any make of tyre, are fully reusable and pack away neatly in your boot.  Even if you’re not quite ready for a service, they are an economical way to stay on the road over the festive season.

As well as the popular AutoSock Snow Socks, Vauxhall offers a range of winter tyres in a variety of sizes, with prices starting from just £45.60. Offering greater grip and stability in cold and wet weather, these tyres reduce braking distances by up to 10 per cent in rain and 20 per cent in snow.

Vauxhall’s peace of mind Winter Safety Check ensures all bases are covered as conditions turn colder. For just £35, our Vauxhall MasterFit technicians visually check your car for potential safety issues, ensure tyres are correctly inflated, perform any advised software updates and top up all vital fluids. What’s more the Winter Safety Check comes with an Autoglym Winter Care Pack, with all those winter essentials: de-icer, screenwash, an ice scraper and a Hi-Tech Interior Microfibre Cloth, collectively worth £20.

Safer winter driving is also about the basics, because even replacing worn wiper blades and ageing headlamp bulbs can substantially improve a driver’s visibility. Vauxhall MasterFit retailers can supply and fit both, putting motorists back on the road with the minimum disruption.

“All our Winter products and accessories are designed to give Vauxhall owners outstanding value as well as the peace of mind that their vehicle is ready to face the harsh winter months,” said Belinda Craik, Vauxhall Service Channel manager.
