Satellite Navigation Systems or Sat Navs are extremely useful especially if you are doing a lot of driving. There are many different types out there ranging from £80 up to approximately £1000. Depending on how much you are going to use your Sat Nav and what you need it for will decide on what model you require.

Trusting the car garage you use is a must
Buying a car can be the second most expensive purchase many of us make and once you have bought the car the bills keep coming with servicing and general repairs. It is very important to find a garage that you trust as often when we take a car in to a garage we have to trust them that what they say requires to be changed or fixed is correct.

Buying part worn tyres for your car
With everyone trying to save money on as many things as possible, the buying of part worn tyres has become increasingly popular over the last few years.

Air Conditioning – Getting a Recharge
Sometimes air-conditioning begins to fail but it only needs a recharge to get back to the cool breeze that it once was.

So when you have a 10 year old car it’s likely that your air con will be nothing like it once was. A recharge doesn’t cost a great deal, depending on the garage you visit, and it’s a quick process. You should make sure your system is charged and... Read More
