Many of the A roads in Leicester are considered to be in poor condition, according to the local council. And with such a wide range of major roads passing through Leicester, such as the A46 and A563, this can create some real problems for commuters across the Midlands, especially if you’ve got an older car. Damaged tyres, brakes, suspension systems and dents to the bodywork are just some of the issues we’ve encountered in the city, leading to an increase in repairs. But some cars are beyond fixing and drivers are done paying for them. That’s where we come in.

It ends up being more cost-effective to buy a newer, more efficient model that won’t need as many repairs, than it is to keep a car that can’t handle the busy Leicester roads.
