Direct Cars on site workshop facilities play an integral role in the demanding daily routine that a modern car supermarket will experience.
With so many manufacturers represented and such a varied stock mix, the emphasis must always be to maintain a well trained and well equipped team of technicians.
Modern vehicle technology is a world apart from the simple workings under the bonnet of a twenty year old car. The drive for more fuel efficient, more powerful and ever more environmentally friendly power plants has led to significant steps forward in all of these areas, but only by using a huge array of ultra modern systems and computer based management technologies to achieve these goals.
The modern workshop must contain the equivalent diagnostic and service equipment and more importantly the trained staff competent to use the technology to best effect.
Maintaining a high standard during both pre-delivery service and aftersales servicing means that our customers can be satisfied that their car is reliable, safe and checked to a professional level.
Having your vehicle serviced at Direct Cars does not affect any remaining manufacturer warranty.
Maximise the lifespan of your vehicle by keeping it well maintained.
