Crawley might be smaller than nearby locations like London and Brighton and Hove, but its strategic position along the M23 means it sees a lot of traffic on a daily basis, connecting commuters across West Sussex. It’s also home to Gatwick airport, making it a hub of activity for taxis and other private hire vehicles dropping people off and picking them up. This creates a lot of congestion, which can be hard on older vehicles, with constant crawling impacting your brakes, tyres, clutch and engine and increasing the need for repairs, especially if your car is on the older side.
This is why so many drivers in Crawley are looking to recycle their ageing vehicles. And here’s how Car.co.uk can help:
