It’s still November but the cold weather is already upon us so why not get your lovely car ready? You might already be thinking your car is a little neglected in terms of accessories – so let us brighten up this winter for you and your car – with a chance to win them all.
What do a tyre gauge, a cup holder, an emergency kit and a Yankee Candle air freshener have in common? All of them can be found in the #ACTreatBox, Arnold Clark’s latest Twitter competition.
Treat your car (and yourself) to an early Christmas present with one click. All you need to do is follow the Arnold Clark Twitter page, ReTweet the #ACTreatBox image and keep your fingers crossed! There are five boxes up for grabs, which means you have five chances to be a winner.
But what makes this #ACTreatBox so special? It has all of this season’s best accessories. For your convenience, we have made a list with the top car goodies in the box and what you can use them for.
1. Emergency kit
Every driver knows that anything can happen out there on the road. When things don’t go according to plan, you need some emergency kit on standby. That’s why we’re putting safety first and including a mini wind-up torch for when it’s dark, a pen and notepad just in case you need to take down any details and a microfibre demist pad to make sure your windscreens are clear.
2.Cup holder
Taking a drink with you needn’t be a juggling act – we’ve included a cup holder in our treat box, whether it’s for your coffee on your way to work or for your water on the way back from the gym. What gives this cup holder a handy little twist is that it uses your car’s air vent to keep your drink cool or warm.
3. Windscreen ice scraper
There really shouldn’t be a car in the UK without one of these, and yet so many drivers forget about them. Don’t end up scraping at hardened ice with frostbitten fingers and a flimsy credit car. With the unpredictable British weather you could be stuck without it – and this is why it has an important place in our #ACTreatBox.
4. Tyre gauge
We have published a few articles on tyre laws as well as a how to video showing you how to check your tyre pressures explaining the importance of having the correct tyre pressure. Measuring it yourself can save you a lot of hassle and money. Driving smoothly is so important all year around but especially in winter – so we decided to include this special gadget!
5. Paint scratch remover
A little chip in the paint? No reason to worry as this little remover is easy to use, water resistant and will leave a professional finish. It can be used on any colour of vehicle paintwork and your car will be back to looking fabulous in no time.
Don't worry this list is not exhaustive – there are more goodies in the box! We have prepared more than one #ACTreatBox with different treats for each winner including a Car Jar air freshener, an alloy wheel brush, seat sleeve, phone holder and more.
