    Lockdown car care tips

    Don't forget about your four-wheeled family member...

With the majority of the UK confined to home, now is a good time to check that your car is staying healthy during isolation, too. 


With the exception of key workers, the majority of us are now only venturing out for basic essentials - meaning your car is probably parked up for a lot longer than it is used to. Here are some handy tips for keeping your car healthy during isolation:
 
  • If your car is stood still for any great length of time, you may be risking a flat battery when you need it next. Consider starting your car and letting the engine run for 10 to 15 minutes every few days to top up the charge. Of course, if you're going to do this, it is important that the car is not left unattended for security reasons, and it should not be left running in a confined space (such as a garage).
 
  • Live in a multiple-car household? As you are travelling less often, consider alternating between vehicles for your essential journeys, to keep them all running smoothly.
 
  • Time for a spring clean! Now is the ideal time to give your car a bit of extra care and attention. Maybe you've been meaning to re-tune your radio pre-sets, or find the button that turns off your parking sensors? Perhaps you've got adaptive cruise control, but don't know how to use it? Don't put it off any longer. If you can't find the answer in your handbook, we're always contactable at sales@cropley-motors.co.uk. 

Try these tips and check in on your Suzuki regularly to make sure she's ready to go when you are. 

It has been fantastic, and truly inspiring, watching the country pull together as one. Although we may be in for another few weeks of lockdown yet, we are thoroughly looking forward to getting back to back to business when we can.

Remember, we are always contactable. Should you have any questions while we are closed, you can call/text Gavin Angood on 07811 345273, or you can email us at sales@cropley-motors.co.uk.
 
Best wishes and stay safe from all at Cropleys Suzuki.

Terms

Refund Policy

If you are contracting with us as a Consumer online or by phone and do not visit our dealership at any point during the transaction process, or your contract with us is concluded or substantially negotiated at your home or somewhere other than our dealership, you have the right to cancel (under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013), all or part of your contract at any time up to 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the vehicle you ordered.

Your right to return vehicles under this clause does not apply to vehicles made to your specification, that is, where modifications have been made to the vehicle at your request which occur after the vehicle leave the manufacturer’s factory.

If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation this clause, you are obliged to retain possession of the vehicle and take reasonable care of them until collection/return to us. We will not be obliged to refund the purchase price of any Vehicles damaged by you, but may at our election offer to refund the purchase price subject to a deduction for the damage sustained.

You can cancel by email: sales@cropley-motors.co.uk, or call 01205 362230, or write to: S Cropley & Co Ltd, Frith Bank, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE227BD. You must inform us of your decision to cancel your contract by a clear statement, including details of your name, geographical address, details of the order you wish to cancel and, where available, your phone number and email address. If the vehicle has been funded by a finance provider, you should ensure that you also give notice to that third party funder to cancel the finance arrangements.

If you decide to cancel in accordance with this clause, you should return the vehicle to us at your own cost within 14 days of such cancellation and we will reimburse to you (by the method used to pay for the original transaction) the amount in relation to vehicles to which cancellation rights apply. Alternatively if you wish us to collect the vehicle, we will do so subject to payment of an agreed collection fee. We will reimburse delivery charges made (if any).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any vehicles supplied, based on any additional mileage on the vehicle after receipt. We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any vehicles supplied or, if earlier, the date you supply evidence to us that you have sent the vehicle, together with all keys and documentation, back to us. Refunds will be made by cheque or direct bank transfer to the same account as the purchase price was paid from. Refunds will not be paid in cash. If you direct us to settle your finance (if applicable) on the vehicle, we will refund the required sum (providing the refund is sufficient for this purpose) and return to you any surplus funds.

If you exercise your right to cancel the vehicle within the 14 day period, and have sold a used vehicle to us as part exchange for the vehicle, we may at our discretion either refund the sum attributed to the part exchange vehicle at the time the agreement was entered into, or return the part exchange vehicle to you, if it remains available. Where the part exchange vehicle has been subject to repairs by us, you will be required to pay to us the cost of the repairs if you wish to retain the part exchange vehicle.

If you have sold us a used vehicle as part exchange on an acquisition made online or by phone and the part exchange vehicle upon delivery or collection is not as described we may either revalue the vehicle and proceed with the sale based upon the revised valuation, or refund any deposit paid less any reasonable costs we have incurred. If the vehicle you are purchasing is not as described we will give you back your deposit plus any costs you have incurred.
