Vauxhall Price Match
We all assume that main dealer prices are slightly steeper than those at smaller independent garages. We all accept we have to be a little bit more to give our car the specialist care it needs from time to time. I was talking to a few industry insiders who were fighting tooth and nail and drumming home that in most cases dealer prices are very competitive to smaller independent garages.
I was given a minor service as an example, at a small independent you would expect to pay between £80-90 for a routine service at an Audi dealer you can get it done for £99 plus they will give your car a once over and stamp the service book with a manufacturer approved logo.
Vauxhall has decided to launch a new like for like price match on tyres. Vauxhall will offer this price match on leading tyre brands – Continental, Pirelli, Dunlop, Michelin and Firestone. The offer applies to competitors within a five mile radius throughout its 400 Vauxhall MasterFit retailers across the UK.
Belinda Craik, Service Channel Manager at Vauxhall, said: “Motorists don’t always think to take their car back to the franchised retailer when looking for replacement parts such as tyres. However, we are confident that we can now demonstrate to our customers – through the Tyre Price Promise – that we not only provide quality parts as you’d expect with a vehicle manufacturer, but that we do so at an unbeatable price.”
Vauxhall also offer a quick and hassle free service, customers can visit Vauxhall MasterFit Retailers for tyre checks, changes and replacements without the requirement of making a booking, due to a large range of tyres kept in stock for used Vauxhall deals.
