When to Book a
8-Point Safety Check
You do not need to wait for a warning light or obvious problem to have your vehicle checked. A free 8-Point Safety Check can help identify wear, low levels or other concerns before they become bigger issues.
Consider booking a check:
- Before a long trip
- When you have not checked recently
- When a warning light appears
- When your vehicle feels or sounds different
- When the seasons change
- You want a idea of your vehicle’s condition
This is a visual and basic condition check. It does not replace a WOF inspection or full mechanical service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 8-Point Safety Check Really Free?
Yes. The check is free when booked online, and you will not be asked to pay at checkout. Any products, repairs or additional services you choose after the check are charged separately.
Is an 8-Point Safety Check the Same as a WOF?
No. A WOF is an official inspection covering a wider range of legal vehicle safety requirements. The 8-Point Safety Check is a basic check of eight selected areas and does not guarantee a WOF pass.
Is It the Same as a Full Vehicle Service?
No. The check helps identify visible or basic condition concerns, but it does not replace a scheduled mechanical service, diagnostic assessment or manufacturer-required maintenance.
What Happens if You Find a Problem?
We’ll explain what we found, what it means and what your options are. We will not complete additional services or fit replacement products that Advantage offers until you approve the work and price.
Does the Wheel Alignment Check Include an Alignment?
No. We’ll check for signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment. If a full alignment is recommended, it can be booked and completed as a separate paid service.
How Often Should I Book an 8-Point Safety Check?
There is no fixed interval, but it can be useful before a long trip, when the seasons change or whenever you have not checked these areas recently.
