You wouldn’t go out into the cold without dressing warmly. Your vehicle faces similar challenges as the temperature drops. A little preparation before winter sets in may help prevent you headaches later on.

With this in mind, UCIM, local agents of Fiat and Alfa Romeo, will be holding its annual Free Winter Inspection at its Service Centres located adjacent to each other in Valley Road, Msida from Monday 20 September to Friday 24 September from 4 to 6pm.

“This is a relatively new initiative we have introduced to all our Fiat and Alfa Romeo customers as part of our enhanced added service offer,” said Francesca Mamo, managing director of UCIM. “Through this initiative, we are inviting all Fiat and Alfa Romeo owners to call at our service centre and have their vehicle thoroughly inspected in order to ensure they are safe on the road and also to avoid further damage once the cold and rainy season sets in. The inspection, which will take approximately 20 minutes, will be carried out by qualified Fiat and Alfa Romeo technicians who will check the vehicle’s braking system, tyre pressure and condition, wipers and electric system and an underbody inspection to check wear, cracks and any deterioration.”

Any work needed which is highlighted in the above tests will benefit from a 20 per cent discount on both parts and labour if it is carried out at the Fiat or Alfa Romeo Service Centres.

Fiat and Alfa Romeo owners who wish to benefit from UCIM Co Ltd’s pre-winter inspection offer and want more information can call 2382 0000. Bookings will be taken by appointment only.
