CRASH! – BANG! – SCRATCH! – DENT! – SMASH!

Sometimes how we damage our cars occurs really fast, other times it’s almost as if you’ve slowed time down and it is all happening in slow motion.

If another vehicle isn’t involved and it’s something you’ve done yourself, there are two options you can take. We wanted to just raise awareness of one of them today.

If you have a high excess on your insurance, come along and get a free quote from us first before you go to them. It may be that the cost to repair the damage is actually less than the excess you will be charged and will save you seeing your insurance premium going up.

Electric Car or Not!

The UK's journey towards a greener future is accelerating. The government has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To reach this ambitious goal, significant changes are underway in the automotive world.

We Thought We’d Share Key Updates You Need To Know:

- 2030 Deadline: The sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans will be phased out by 2030, bringing the ban forward by a decade.

- Hybrid Vehicles: Some hybrid vehicles will still be available until 2035, giving consumers a bit more time to transition.

What Does This Mean for You?

While the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will cease, you can continue driving your existing vehicle beyond 2030. There's no immediate requirement to switch to an electric or hybrid car. You can make the transition when it suits you best.

Why Consider Maintaining Your Current Car?

With these upcoming changes, many car owners are choosing to invest in their current vehicles. Restoring and maintaining your car's paintwork and overall condition can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new vehicle. Our body shop has seen a surge in customers opting to rejuvenate their cars, ensuring they remain in top shape for years to come.

Keep Your Car Looking Its Best!

Whether you drive a petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric car, maintaining its appearance and condition is a smart investment. Many of our customers are choosing to restore and protect their vehicles rather than buy new ones. If your car could use some TLC, we’re here to help keep it looking its best for years to come!

Red Car Fun Facts 🚘

What are the odds you’ve driven a red car—or know someone who does? Pretty high, since red is one of the most popular car colours globally. Here are 5 playful facts about red cars and the dynamic drivers behind the wheel:

1. Red Cars & Speeding: The (Fast) Rumour
Red car drivers have a reputation for being speedy rebels. While it’s debated whether red actually invites more speeding fines, experts agree red cars are easier to spot during daylight hours - and maybe it’s just that their drivers love the thrill of the road! 😏

2. Accident Prone or Accident Myth?
Bad news: drivers of red cars have a 10% higher risk of accidents than some other colours! 😬 Although red is visible in most conditions, Ready 4 Retail is ready to fix any dints, scratches, or paint scrapes that might happen. 🚗🛠️

3. Bright in the Day, Dim in the Dark
Sure, red is vivid in daylight and catches the eye in rainy or snowy weather, but once the sun sets? Red isn’t as reflective as lighter colours like white or silver, making it less noticeable at night. Pro team tip: keep those headlights sparkling clean! ✨

4. Red Cars: Insurance Myths, Busted!
Think red cars cost more to insure? That’s just a colourful myth! Insurers only care about your driving record, car make, and engine size—not your bold, stylish car colour. So go ahead, paint the town red worry-free!

5. Red Hot Personalities
If you own a red car, chances are your personality shines just as bright. Red is linked with traits like energy, confidence, and passion - and sometimes a hint of power or intensity. Love, drive, or ambition? A red car drivers got it all. ❤️‍🔥
