🚨 OUT-OF-WARRANTY TESLA? DON'T PAY £165+ AN HOUR... 🚨

Tesla’s official UK workshop rate sits at £165 + VAT per hour. That means just 60 minutes on their diagnostic ramp costs more than a full premium inspection at Chorley Autovolk!

If your Model 3 or Model Y is due its routine check-over, bring it to the specialists in Chorley. Our Complete EV Menu Service is a fixed £120 + VAT.

We handle the vital maintenance these cars need:

✅ High-voltage cable & battery underbody visual safety checks
✅ Suspension, chassis & steering inspections (essential for heavy EVs!)
✅ Brake caliper & disc corrosion checks

⚡ Bonus: Want to know exactly how much your Tesla battery has degraded over time? Ask us to carry out a standalone AVILOO Battery Health Test for just £100 to get a certified laboratory report.

Keep the performance. Ditch the dealer premium.

🚗 MAIN DEALER OR SPECIALIST INDEPENDENT?

For years, German car owners have been told:

“If you want it looked after properly, you need to take it to the main dealer.”

But is that still true?

At Chorley Autovolk, you can get:

🔧 Specialist German-car knowledge
🖥️ Dealer-level diagnostic equipment
📖 Access to online manufacturer service history
🛠️ Experienced technicians who work on these cars every day
💷 Competitive independent-garage pricing

And perhaps most importantly...

You deal with people who know your car — not just the badge on the bonnet.

We're not saying main dealers don't have their place.

But when your BMW, Audi, Mercedes, SEAT, ŠKODA or Volkswagen needs servicing, diagnostics or repairs...

Do you really need to go back to the main dealer?

FRIDAY CONFESSION TIME!

We've all had THAT car…

The one you sold years ago and still think about.

Maybe it was your first car. Maybe it was an absolute shed that never let you down. Or maybe you sold it for peanuts and now they're worth a fortune! 😂

👇 WE WANT TO KNOW THREE THINGS:

🚘 WHAT WAS IT?
💷 HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR IT?
😭 DO YOU WISH YOU'D KEPT IT?

I'll start you off…

Imagine selling a classic Golf GTI years ago for next to nothing, only to see what they're worth today! 🤦‍♂️

No judgement here… unless you scrapped something special! 😂

BONUS QUESTION: What's the one car you'd buy back tomorrow if money was no object?

👇 Come on, let's hear your stories! Tag someone who still bangs on about the car they used to own! 😂

DID YOU KNOW YOUR BMW CAN BRAKE ITSELF?

And no… we're not talking about autonomous driving!

When you're driving in heavy rain, some BMWs can actually apply the brakes automatically — without you touching the brake pedal.

So what's going on?

When the car detects that the windscreen wipers are being used, it knows the roads are likely to be wet.

The system can then briefly apply the brake pads against the discs to remove the thin film of water that can build up on the braking surface.

You probably won't even notice it happening.

No warning light.
No noise.
No dramatic braking.

Just a tiny bit of clever German engineering happening in the background. 🇩🇪

And there's a good reason for it…

When you suddenly need the brakes in heavy rain, the system wants the discs and pads to be ready to deliver full braking performance immediately, rather than having to clear that layer of water first.

Your BMW has been doing things you didn't even know it could do. 👀

DID YOU KNOW?

Electric cars aren't a new invention.

In fact, more than 100 years ago, electric cars were already a serious rival to petrol cars.

By around 1900, electric vehicles accounted for roughly a third of the vehicles on American roads. 🚗⚡

And here's the really interesting bit…

People liked them for many of the same reasons some people like EVs today.

They were:

⚡ Quiet
⚡ Easy to drive
⚡ Clean at the point of use
⚡ Ideal for short journeys around town

There were even more than 60 electric taxis operating in New York City around the turn of the century.

So why did electric cars disappear?

Petrol cars began to offer something early EVs struggled with — longer range and easier refuelling.

Then Henry Ford's Model T arrived, mass production brought petrol cars down in price, and the electric starter motor removed one of the biggest annoyances of early petrol cars: having to hand-crank the engine.

Electric cars didn't disappear because the idea was new.

They disappeared because, at the time, petrol technology solved more of the problems people had.

Fast forward more than a century…

And we're having the conversation all over again. ⚡

How many of you knew electric cars were already around in the 1800s?

⚡ EV OWNERS — DO YOU KNOW HOW HEALTHY YOUR BATTERY REALLY IS? 🔋

Your EV could be approaching the end of its warranty because of age or mileage.

Before that happens, wouldn't you want to know if the battery is performing as it should?

We're now offering an EV HEALTH CHECK at Chorley Autovolk, including professional AVILOO battery health testing.

It's not just for people buying an EV.

🔋 BUYING A USED EV?
Find out more about the condition of one of the most expensive components on the car before you buy.

🔋 SELLING YOUR EV?
A battery health report can give potential buyers greater confidence in the car you're selling.

🔋 WARRANTY NEARLY EXPIRED?
If your battery warranty is approaching its age or mileage limit, getting its condition checked could be a very worthwhile investment.

🔋 WORRIED ABOUT RANGE?
If your EV isn't going as far as it used to, a battery health assessment can give you useful information rather than leaving you guessing.

Because with an EV, mileage isn't the whole story.

You can have two cars with exactly the same mileage… but their batteries may not be in exactly the same condition.

So why wait until there's a problem?

Get a clearer picture of your EV's battery health while you still have time to do something about it.

🔧 HERE'S HOW TO TELL IF YOU'VE FOUND A GOOD GARAGE…

Ask them one simple question:

“If this was your car, what would you do?”

A good mechanic shouldn't need to sell you anything.

They should explain:

🔴 What needs doing now
🟠 What needs doing soon
🟢 What can wait

And most importantly, why.

Because nobody likes being handed a £2,000 repair bill and told:

“It all needs doing.”

At Chorley Autovolk, we'd rather explain what's happening and let you make the decision.

What do you think makes a great garage?

👇 Honest advice? Price? Quality? Knowledge? Something else?

MAIN DEALER SERVICE… WITHOUT THE MAIN DEALER PRICE TAG 👀

If you drive a BMW, Audi, VW, MINI, Mercedes, Skoda or another German car, you don’t have to use the main dealer to get your car properly looked after.

At Chorley Autovolk, you get:

🔧 Experienced German car specialists
We know these cars inside out — not just how to change the oil and stamp a book.

🖥️ Dealer-level diagnostics
We have the equipment and knowledge to properly diagnose faults rather than simply replacing parts and hoping for the best.

📖 Manufacturer servicing schedules followed
Your car gets serviced to the correct specification, using quality parts and the right lubricants.

💷 A much better value option
Why pay main dealer prices for work that can be carried out properly by an independent specialist?

🤝 You deal with people who actually know your car
No passing you from department to department. Just straight, honest advice from people who work on cars every day.

📱 Digital service history? No problem.
We can maintain your vehicle's service records where supported.

And perhaps most importantly…

We’re not interested in selling you work your car doesn’t need.

Our aim is simple: keep your car reliable, safe and running properly — without unnecessary expense.

So before you book your next service with the main dealer, give us a call.
