Our garage network members may not have multimillion pound "glass showrooms" and workshops hidden out of sight behind lavish receptions... What they do offer is years of experience and expertise, excellent customer service skills and good old fashion value for money.

Are you tired of paying expensive dealer service and maintenance prices? Thought you had no alternative?...

Now you do!

In October 2003 European legislation affecting the motor trade came into force - its full title is Block Exemption Regulation 1400/2002 (BER for short). Before BER it was very difficult to have new cars serviced outside a franchised dealer.

The legislation now changes the way cars may be serviced, it gives the motorist a lot more freedom in the decision to who should look after their vehicle.

Car Service Direct centres can now offer you that freedom by:

  • Servicing your vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule
  • Fitting original parts or parts of matching quality
  • Offering high standards of workmanship with significant savings compared to a franchised dealer
  • Retaining a full service history to your vehicle for resale - AND
  • Preserving your manufacturer's warranty

THIS WILL NOT INVALIDATE YOUR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS
COMPARED TO A MAIN DEALER

Excellent service - a saving of £90 compared to the local Ford dealer. Mr. & Mrs. F Mallet, Lancashire
