    Courtesy cars do seem like a good idea at first as they are a useful tool for your business, giving a courtesy car adds that extra touch to your service. However, if the worst happens and a claim occurs that turns out to be the customers fault, it's your trade insurance that will take the hit, this can be very damaging to your claims record and can significantly increase your premium when your renewal comes around. If you do decide to give out courtesy cars it is strongly recommended that you manage it carefully and only give them to trusted customers. 

    Hi AShley ,this is very sound advice you give.

    I can relate a story that crushed a business due to a car crash whilst a loan car was used too,I  would never do it as most customers think they can abuse the privilege they are offered,even simple things like speeding tickets are a nightmare as you chase up the hopefully signed paperwork the customer signed thus ensuring you as the named owner doesn't take their sp60

    Nap not for me,theycan take shanks's pony

    600 watt? Really? Mine are 25 watts and 40 watts!

    Sorry I looked againwithmy ginks on its 400watt and you need everyone of them

    I see the jobs done now but the cost was eye watering with that compound unless they got a supply of it for life


  3. You have to be careful that selling cars isn't seen as a route you take to fail cars customers bring in for servicing/mot, it's also important to remember a sale easily takes an hour so who will be designated to do this job..? Its also important to remember that as you repair cars customers expect they can turn up and have a bulb replaced immediately because they bought the car off you

    Lots to consider,personally I wouldn't do it unless your business is failing
