Why you Should have Break-down Cover!

We always have customers asking us the same questions about breakdown cover. Why is it important? We can’t stress enough here at Big Motoring World how important it is to have breakdown cover on your vehicle.

You will only really appreciate how important breakdown cover is when you’re sitting on the side of a busy road or a motorway with no way of getting help or assistance. Breakdown cover will give you that piece of mind that no matter what problem your car has, someone will be out to recover you or fix your car at the roadside.

Cars are very technical just like any other machine, there can be 100 different things that can cause your vehicle to stop functioning. Having breakdown cover offers you that sense of security you need while on the road. No matter how old your vehicle is it is still be liable to break down.

Not only is breakdown cover essential so you don’t have the massive fee to pay when your car is recovered, it is also recommended for your own safety. Being stuck on the hard shoulder of a motorway is one of the worst experiences anyone can have. Vehicles travelling past you at a very high speed can be very dangerous! Having breakdown cover is essential so you know someone is only a phone call away and can have your problem sorted in a short amount of time is priceless. If your vehicle can not be fixed at the roadside, most breakdown companies offer the ability to take you wherever you need to be.

When purchasing breakdown cover it is important to remember that every policy is different, different providers offer different benefits and different levels of cover. Make sure you read through the policy carefully, and make sure it covers everything you need. 

To view a wide option of breakdown cover, the companies we would advise you to look on are price comparison websites such as; http://www.comparethemarket.com  and http://www.moneysupermarket.com. They will search over 50 different breakdown policies for you, this will save you a lot of time, and hopefully a lot of money.

It’s important to realise the importance of breakdown cover and remember that help is available from a host of breakdown insurance companies.

NO More Write-offs!!!!

Hi Bloggers,

Auto-Trade has recently announced its new plans to highlight and car being sold on its website which has been involved in a category C or D insurance write off. This follows an agreement to use Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register data in an automated process on all dealers advertised stock.

 

All cars involved in this will be highlighted with a yellow circle displaying either the letter C or D, the icon will be present on every page which is listing the car, and this will include searches via a mobile device. The prominent icon will also benefit consumers, delivering a message of caution enabling them to make a fully informed decision about the vehicle they intend to buy. Even though category C or D write-offs are not necessarily unsafe or beyond repair Auto-Trader said it is encouraging dealers to provide as much information as they can about the cars condition.

 

 

Many buyers are always unclear about what each category means so the icon can be hovered over to reveal further information. When the term ‘’written off’’ is applied to cars that suffer accident damage which are not repaired at an insurance company’s expense. Each car is assigned a rating from A to D. Category A and B cars are destined only for scrap, the accident damage being so severe that they are deemed unsafe to be allowed back on the road. Auto-Trader will not list category A or B anywhere on their site. Category C write-offs can return to the road following repairs to significant damage, however the cost to repair is more that the value of the care, so is not economically viable for the insurer. Category D write-offs have also suffered damage and, albeit repairs won’t exceed the car’s value, the total costs in settling a claim are deemed excessively high.

Until next time bloggers stay safe!!!

Luxury Future Vision!

Hi Bloggers,

We hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. We have exciting news to share with you BMW are introducing a new luxury concept which debuted at the recent Beijing Motor Show which is pointing to the next 7 series.

BMW have recently revealed the Vision Future Luxury concept at the Beijing Motor Show, previewing the kind of styling, tech and hi-tech construction we can expect from its premium saloons. The new concept’s key exterior styling elements, contemporary interior design touches, lightweight carbon-fiber construction and innovative lighting systems will likely be incorporated on next year’s sixth generation 7-series.

“The BMW Vision Future Luxury is the messenger of our philosophy of modern luxury,” says Karim Habib, head of BMW design, adding: “It takes our thinking a stage further.”  

The exterior styling of BMW’s newest concept car shows signs of the Gran Lusso Coupe that was wheeled out at last year’s Ville d’Este concourse in Italy, but keeping up with the market positioning of the 7 series its overall appearance is more formal.  An over-sized kidney grille and slim lined headlamps dominate a bold front end, while a more elegant looking rear is distinguished by heavily angled rear windows.

Also hinted on the new concept is touchscreen operation, a further developed head-up display until with real-time information and a new iDrive controller.

As well as the lighting technology BMW is hinting will appear on the next 7-series with the Vision Future Luxury state of the art laser headlamps and OLED tail lamps which are set to appear first on the German car makers upcoming i8. 

Until next time bloggers stay safe!!

Roll up, roll up. Come and get your Easter egg!

Hello bloggers, 

Who doesn't love Easter? We do here and the Easter bunny has paid us an early visit!

Over the Easter weekend, we will be providing all of our customers that pay us a visit and purchase a car an Easter egg.

So we took a trip to purchase all of our lovely customers an Easter Egg.  After 15 minutes in the shop and quite a few questionable looks this is what our trolleys looked like:

After this, we decided that another trolley was needed so, off we went! After filling up the three and a half  trolleys we proceeded to push them through the shop. Some of the comments we received made our day. Some of which were:

“You must have a sweet tooth”
“You guys sure have a big family”
“Look mum, it’s the Easter bunny but where are her ears?”

After getting them through the check out, we had to load them into the car and this is what it looked like:

Take a guess at how may Easter eggs we got into our car?

After getting the eggs back on site we got the ladies at reception dressed in their bunny ears all ready for the Easter weekend.

So, come one down this weekend, browse our cars and grab yourself an Easter Egg. Let us know how many Easter eggs you think we have at @BigMotoring and our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/BigMotoringWorld

Mercedes-Benz Released images of the Interior for the New AMG GT Coupe!!

Hi Bloggers,


Mercedes-Benz has released the first ever official images of its new AMG GT coupe interior. The AMG GT is likely to be shown in production form at the Paris Motor Show in early October before being released in showrooms later in the year or early 2015. The vehicle is likely to cost about £80,000 and replaces the larger and more expensive SLS in Mercedes line-up. It has a new twin-turbocharged 4.0litre V8 engine developing about 500bhp.

The official pictures of the car reveal are what Mercedes describe as ‘’modern luxury’’. It is dominated by four central air vents and a wide centre console, with the eight round controls for the AMG Drive Systems laid out to resemble a V8 engine when looked at from above.

Mercedes describes the interior has an exclusive look and feel, featuring the finest materials. Certainly the red leather shown in the images looks exquisite, while the AMG logo embossed in the leather of the centre console is a unique touch.

The technological substance of the Mercedes-AMG GT underscored Mercedes high aspirations with regard to driving dynamics, agility and sportiness. The new Mercedes-AMG GT shows that Mercedes will be positioning AMG more vehemently and aggressively than to date as a dynamic sports car brand.

Government urged to scrap CCTV parking camera ban

Hi Bloggers,

Local authorities are being urged to scrap plans to ban CCTV cameras used to enforce parking rules. The Local Government Association said banning CCTV would not reduce tickets but would put schoolchildren and other vulnerable pedestrians at risk. Although a local government minister said the cameras are an excuse to raise money by issuing fines on an ‘’industrial scale’’.

Parking CCTV cameras are used to tackle dangerous parking outside schools, prevent motorists illegally blocking driveways, loading bays and bus lanes, and to stop people posing a risk to pedestrians by driving along and parking on pavements.

Local Government Association (LGA) argues that the cameras serve as a deterrent especially outside schools. Without these cameras children and people with disabilities could be at an increased danger.
