It’s official we are in recession. The economy has shrunk by 20.4% compared to January and March of this year. The consequences of this pandemic are really starting to bite. The reason we have fallen into recession is because shops, factories, and the construction industry grinded to a halt and spending in these industries fell.

Not only those industries fell but even our car garage had to shut for 6 weeks because of the lockdown measures. We have been talking about the incoming recession for weeks on end and have been preparing for it. But more importantly we have been re-assuring our customers that we are supporting them during this pandemic, and now, through this very severe recession.

We have always looked after our customers on price, we offer only the most reliable vehicle servicing in Cardiff and the whole of Wales. We are here to support all our customers both new and existing through the tough times. But how?

Our garage is geared up with all the latest vehicle diagnostics technology, investing in this technology ensures that we get to the heart of the problems with your vehicle. Only reliable vehicle servicing will ensure that you keep your servicing costs down, if you go to a garage that cannot get to the heart of a fault then you could be spending even more money to repair your vehicle, and during a recession you do not want that.

Not only should you avoid unreliable garages you should avoid any high price main dealers. Main dealers have heavy hourly labour rates that can cost more than £120 an hour plus. What happens if your vehicle needs to be in the garage for more than a day, your hourly labour rate is going to hit the roof with main dealers.

At our independent specialist garage, our labour rates are much more affordable than main dealers. We charge £70 an hour, and if we can fix the fault without ordering any parts it will only cost you for that hour’s diagnostic. If you have an electrical fault on the vehicle and we can fix it by repairing faulty wiring then we only charge for the hours diagnostic and no more.

Now that we are in recession it will be important to look after every penny. Get prices and quotes for everything and save as much money as you can. We will help you save money on all your vehicle servicing needs and support you through the pandemic and this recession.

We are only a phone call away and can quote you on a range of diverse jobs from, gearbox servicing, engine rebuilding, brake servicing, oil changes and an array of other vehicle services from our garage workshop pictured below.
