STUDENTS KEEP CARS ON THE ROAD WITH FREE TYRE SAFETY CHECKS 

Share:

Drivers across the city can get their vehicle tyres checked for free at City of Wolverhampton College as part of a national safety campaign.

This year’s Tyre Safety Month ‘Under Pressure’ campaign – launched on October 1 – encourages vehicle owners to check their tyres at least once a month, and automotive students at the college will be supporting the initiative by offering free checks until Friday, 17 October. 

The students – who are studying for Institute of the Motor Industry qualifications in light vehicle service and repair – will check pressure, tread depth and overall condition of tyres and advise customers on any action that needs to be taken. 

Checks will be carried out at the new Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre at the Wellington Road campus, in Bilston, and all work will be supervised by qualified automotive tutors and technicians. 

Spaces are limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis – book a free check at https://tinyurl.com/2r748jts 

The annual campaign is run by TyreSafe, the UK’s tyre safety charity – for more information visit www.tyresafe.org/
