Cold mornings. Frozen windscreens. Cars that refuse to start. Winter in Hampshire can be tough on vehicles, and many drivers find themselves dealing with unexpected car issues as temperatures drop.
At TTS Auto Engineering, we provide fast, professional mobile mechanic services across Hampshire, helping drivers stay on the road without needing to visit a garage. In this blog, we’re breaking down the most common winter car problems and how our mobile service can fix them at your home, work, or roadside.
1. Flat or Failing Batteries
Cold weather slows chemical reactions in car batteries, often leading to failure when temperatures dip. If your car is slow to start, or won’t start at all, it’s likely a battery issue.
How We Help:
We’ll test your battery on-site, jump-start your car if needed, and replace the battery if it’s reached the end of its life, no need for a tow.
2. Frozen Door Locks and Seals
Woken up to find your car doors frozen shut? It’s a common issue in February, especially after a frosty night.
How We Help:
We can safely defrost locks and seals using professional tools and advise you on how to prevent future freezing.
3. Low Tyre Pressure
Tyres lose pressure in cold weather, which affects handling, fuel economy, and safety, particularly on icy Hampshire roads.
How We Help:
We’ll check your tyre pressure and top it up on the spot, including inspecting for signs of wear or damage.
4. Coolant and Heating Issues
Your heating system works harder in winter, and problems with coolant levels or leaks can lead to engine trouble or a fogged-up windscreen.
How We Help:
We’ll check and top up your coolant, inspect hoses for leaks, and ensure your heating and de-misting systems are working properly.
5. Brake Problems
Salt and grit on the roads can lead to brake corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if your car’s been sitting still for long periods.
How We Help:
We offer full brake inspections and repairs at your location, so you can drive with confidence through the rest of winter.
