Up until now, this winter has been unseasonably warm, with barely a frost to disrupt the morning commute. All that changed this morning, with the first hard frost of the season. With more cold weather predicted for the end of this week and the inevitable onslaught of prolonged cold, are you prepared for winter driving? Here at DAP, we’ve got everything you need to make winter driving a safer, more pleasant experience.
Wiper Blades
Probably one of the most fundamentally important parts on a vehicle when it comes to safe, clear driver visibility, all too often wiper blades get neglected until they’re beginning to fall apart.
In winter conditions, deteriorating wiper rubbers go hard, screeching and scraping their way across the windscreen, whilst failing to work in the effective manner they should.
Here at DAP, we stock a wide array of quality Valeo wiper blades to fit all common applications, including the newer style flat, flexi blades first seen on Audis and increasingly fitted to newer vehicles.
Headlight Bulbs
Dark winter nights can make for a miserable driving experience. Brighten it up with upgraded headlight bulbs!
Over recent years, bulb manufacturers have made major advances in improving the output of the humble light bulb thanks to Xenon gas and advanced filament technologies.
We stock a wide range of road legal, ‘E’ approved upgrade bulbs from Ring and Osram. These can dramatically improve the light output of your existing headlights; for the ultimate upgrade, ask in store about Ring XenonUltima, which can upgrade your standard headlights by up 120%!
Winter Essentials
If, like us, the first big frost of the season caught you off guard and saw you frantically searching your car for anything vaguely resembling de-icer or an ice scraper, why not pay us a visit and stock up on those winter essentials. We stock value and premium deicers, ice scrapers and screen wash to stop your washer jets icing up on cold mornings.
We also stock products you might not have considered before now, such as frost protection windscreen covers.
Rather than spending time scraping and spraying your screen on cold winter mornings, why not cover it up the night before, then simply remove the cover and drive the next morning. With prices starting from just £3.99, a windscreen cover can also save money over the course of a long winter, as well as being more environmentally friendly, removing the need for endless cans of de-icer, or long periods sat by the roadside with the engine running, waiting for the heater to start working.
Everything else!
Whatever you need for winter driving, we’re likely to keep it in stock, from Snow Chains to snow shovels, road salt, emergency car kits and much, much more. Visit us today, whether it’s for those driving essentials, or a Christmas stocking filler for any driver.
