Car owners, what’s the one sound your car makes that immediately gets your attention?

A squeal when braking? A rattle over bumps? A new knocking sound? Or a noise that only happens when you start the engine?

Different sounds can have different causes, so it’s best not to guess or ignore a new noise. If something has changed, getting it checked is the sensible next step.

Tell us which sound you’d want investigated first.

Comment with the sound and when it happens. For a real concern, contact a garage rather than relying on comments.

🎉 Meet Claire Ferguson!

As we wrap up our Meet the Team series, we're delighted to introduce Claire Ferguson, one of the friendly faces in our administration team.
Although Claire has been with us for less than a year, she's already become an important part of the A&I Coaches. From day one, she's settled into the team with enthusiasm, professionalism and a genuine willingness to help both colleagues and customers. Her positive attitude has made a real difference, and we're delighted to have her on board.

Outside of work, Claire loves spending time with her family, especially with her grandson Noah. She also enjoys holidays in the sunshine, evenings out with friends and plenty of time with her two Labradors, Marley and Flynn.

💙 Claire, thank you for everything you've brought to the team in such a short time. Your positivity, kindness and dedication have made a real impact, and we're excited to have you as part of the A&I Coaches team as we continue to grow together.

This week, we're proud to introduce Robyn Gouws, one of the dedicated members of our administration team.

For the past 3½ years, Robyn has played a vital role behind the scenes, managing driver badges, licensing requirements and vehicle licensing, while supporting the team with a wide range of administrative duties. Her organisation, attention to detail and commitment help ensure everything runs smoothly so our drivers can stay focused on delivering great service to our customers.

When she's away from the office, Robyn enjoys supporting the Stonehaven Cricket Club, where her husband is the team captain. She also has a passion for creating beautiful open and closed terrariums and takes pride in her garden, especially her rockery and water feature. At home, life is kept entertaining by her energetic Golden Labrador, Atlas, who is always ready for his next adventure!

Since then, she's become an important part of our day-to-day operations, helping support customers and colleagues with the same friendly attitude and commitment every day.

Outside of work, Fiona loves spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter, who recently celebrated her first birthday. She also enjoys long walks with her Portuguese Shih Tzu, Millie, and catching up with friends whenever she gets the chance.
