Battery tests should be part of winter checks

International News, Product News, UK News

As temperatures get colder, motorists get more conscious of their car’s conditions. In some instances – especially in colder European markets – this means changing to winter tyres. Meanwhile testing lights are a matter of course for drivers. However, the car battery is often neglected, although it is under even more stress during the cold season. For example, continuous use of the windshield heater or the air conditioning system takes a large amount of power and makes heavy demands on the battery. Especially in winter, the only way to avoid unpleasant surprises is to have the battery checked regularly by the workshop – something battery maker Johnson Controls is advocating. The latest ADAC statistics show that 39 per cent of all breakdowns are due to the battery.

UK drivers lose 37 million finding garages to fix their cars

News, UK News

New research by online car repair marketplace, ClickMechanic, has revealed that every year British motorists lose 893,461,500 hours – that’s more than 37 million days – trying to find a garage or mechanic to fix their car.

With more vehicles on Britain’s roads than ever before it stands to reason that there are more drivers to experience breakdowns and other problems. By the end of March 2016 there were 36.7 million vehicles licensed for use on GB roads – more than 900,000 had registered in that single first quarter of the year alone.

Apprenticeships ‘too important just to be an election promise’

Career Tracks, UK News

After the Conservative Party joined Labour in pledging increased apprenticeship opportunities, the Institute of the Motor Industry has urged political parties to think carefully about how to improve such positions. Steve Nash, CEO of the IMI which represents the UK retail motor industry, is pleased to hear the latest political party promise about apprenticeships. But he’s concerned that the issue is just becoming one of the items on the list of ‘vote winner’ promises without, necessarily, addressing the challenge of how to attract young people to apprenticeships.

Choosing a garage – price vs reputation

UK News

When it comes to choosing a garage, reputation far outweighs price, according to WhoCanFixMyCar.com. To be precise, reputation was the most important factor for 57.5 per cent of people, vs 23 per cent who claimed price was their number one priority, exactly 2.5x higher. It’s a trend WhoCanFixMyCar.com says it sees on a daily basis – as garages with the highest feedback scores close the most business – even if their prices are higher than the other quoting outlets.
