Craig, who works at Walsall Wood Tyre and Service in the West Midlands, advised people to get their vehicle’s battery checked “sooner rather than later”.
He used the 77-second clip to point out how garages offer simple checks for free, connecting a device to record how a battery is performing.
He printed a “health check” receipt recording how many amps are being released and whether the battery’s in a “good” state or needs costly work ahead.
Craig told viewers: “It’s that time of year when we’ve been babbling on about batteries, just to prevent you guys from not being able to make it to work.
