Car Safety Checks - Ewhurst, Gatwick & Cranleigh

A health check gives you a clear picture of where your vehicle stands – what’s in good condition, what needs attention soon, and what needs attention now. It’s not an MOT, and it’s not a full service; it’s a methodical inspection of the systems and components most likely to affect safety and reliability.

At CCM, health checks are carried out with the same thoroughness we bring to everything else. We’ll give you an honest, straightforward report – no unnecessary recommendations, no upselling, just a clear account of your vehicle’s condition.

What a car health check covers

  • Brakes – pad and disc condition, fluid level, and performance
  • Tyres – tread depth, condition, pressure, and sidewall inspection
  • Lights – all external lighting checked for function
  • Steering and suspension – visual inspection for wear or damage
  • Fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and screenwash
  • Battery condition check
  • Exhaust – visual inspection for damage or leaks
  • Wiper blades and washers
  • Belts – visual check where accessible

When a vehicle health check is useful

A safety check is particularly worthwhile before a long journey, after buying a used vehicle, before or after winter, or simply when you want reassurance that your vehicle is in good shape between services. It can also flag issues that are developing but not yet causing obvious symptoms. Catching them early is almost always cheaper than dealing with them later.

CCM has been trusted by customers across Surrey and Sussex for over 30 years, and recognised by the industry to match, with awards including back-to-back Automechanika Best Multi-Site Garage wins, consecutive IGA Best Independent Garage titles, and the Top Garage Award 2025.
