Autosafe news

Independent service and repair network Autosafe has expanded and improved its range of member benefits in a move designed to further its reputation as the network of choice for independent-minded, customer-focused garage owners.

Independent vehicle service and mechanical repair network Autosafe is positioning itself as the ‘missing link’ for buyers of electric vehicles, by developing service agreements with electric vehicle suppliers that do not have a nationwide network of service agents.

We are delighted to announce that two long-standing Autosafe members are finalists in the Golden Garages competition, which is part of a major industry push to promote high standards of workmanship and customer care in service and repair garages.

Independent vehicle service network Autosafe says that the recently published MOT test failure statistics reveal clearly that most failures could easily have been avoided, saving drivers money and hassle.

French manufacturer SECMA and Devon-based vehicle importer Qpod Motor Company have introduced the SECMA F16 to the UK market - a light and nippy roadster that looks set to put late 20th century fun back into early 21st century driving.

Two recent research surveys have put independent local service and repair garages in pole position for service and value.

Independent vehicle service and mechanical repair network Autosafe has boosted its fleet business by 530 per cent over the past 12 months, as fleet managers have turned increasingly to independent service garages to help them reduce operating costs.

Research by motoring organisations over recent weeks has shown that many of the larger car makers have increased car prices by up to 14 per cent since last autumn - meaning that hard-pressed British motorists, who were being wooed back into the market by the government-backed scrappage scheme, are having to think again about ways to save money.

Credit-crunched motorists who have been putting off routine servicing and necessary repairs to cut costs(1) could make much bigger long-term savings by getting the work done, says vehicle servicing network Autosafe.

Independent vehicle service and mechanical repair network Autosafe is putting its full weight behind the current campaign to encourage service garages to sign up to industry quality programmes such as the Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair.
