MOTOR FINANCE – A BETTER DEAL THAN EVER
18/02/2011
Times are changing and the motor trade has become a target to tighten their procedures
more than ever before. A new legislation came into effect on the 1st of Feb 2011
which ensures transparency of the finance process. This will give the consumer a
clearer understanding about what they are buying.
A competence test for dealers and motor finance company staff includes a 20-question module on the new CCD (Credit Consumer Directive). It will allow dealerships to demonstrate that their knowledge of the CCD changes meets the standard set by the Finance & Leasing Association, which created the test.
Although many used car dealers have taken this new directive as a threat others have embraced the change and see it as a positive step to modernisation within the industry.
K & K Automotive Ltd are now able to offer approved motor finance from their premises in Guildford, Surrey and have shown a positive attitude to this new reform.
Steve Kerslake, Marketing Director said ‘This type of legislation is long overdue and every customer has a right to know what they are buying into. We embrace this change within the industry which will help our customers make an informed choice about whom is actually offering the better deal’.
As the legislation evolves it has been predicted that the ratio of those who would consider taking finance may rise considerably as people can make a more confident decision.
K & K Automotive now offer a selection of finance packages from over 25 major lenders including Barclays PLC and Santander. Boasting the very best rates available in the market to ensure you get the best deal every time.
As regulations within the motor trade grows ever tighter it truly could not be a better time to buy a car from your local dealer. The importance of gaining a good warranty will always remain an important factor but play your cards right and you could save yourself thousands, compared to main dealer prices. The risk of buying a car from a small garage has dramatically reduced compared to three years ago as consumers rights improve.

Save money this winter with K & K Automotive
October 12, 2010
Have you been saving your money for a rainy day? It might be a good time to give in and exchange your tired old car for something more reliable. Older vehicles can be more susceptible to problems in damp weather conditions and I think its fair to say we have all had our fair share of stress and hardship this year.
K & K Automotive offer a wide selections of vehicles to suite most budgets and they are all ready to attack the winter head on so you don’t have to.
Whether you are looking for a Mercedes or a Ford Ka you will find something for everyone on their forecourt, all safety checked and HPI clear.
All vehicles are HPI CLEAR - HPI (hire purchase investigations). This is an insurance service which protects you and the dealer against several things including - stolen vehicles, outstanding finance, scrapped vehicles, cherished number plates, import or export info, and will even tell us whether the vehicle has had a colour change during its life!
Mileage checks - Every car supplied comes with service history and documentation from the DVLA to prove that the mileage is correct.
Safety Checks - K & K are required to complete a pre delivery check with every vehicle before it is sold to ensure you're chosen warranty is valid when you drive away. These checks include :- Levels (check & top up), exterior lights, wipers, number plates, locking, inspection of exhaust, cooling hoses and pipes, brake pads and discs, tyre depths and pressures, handbrake, clutch, warning lights, electric windows/mirrors, interior lights, road test.
Vehicle condition - Each car on display is hand picked by the Sales Manager to ensure consistency in quality. Every effort is made to source cars that are in as original condition as possible. Avoiding vehicles that have been modified or that may have had numerous body or mechanical repairs.
Owners - The fewer the owners the better the car? This is not always the case but K & K try to buy cars with as few owners as possible. Any cars which show a high number of owners are rejected.
Low mileage - low mileage vehicles are a priority however a flexible approach to high mileage cars is important as some can handle more exertion than others such as :- diesels cars, selected Japanese and German brands. Only high mileage vehicles with a comprehensive service histories are retailed.
All cars are serviced and timing belts are checked before sold and any necessary work is carried out. Any vehicle that has less than 6 months MOT will get a new one.
Timing belt issues are often overlooked and many buyers are unaware of the dangers. If the belt breaks it can destroy an engine which can leave you in a difficult position as it is the owners responsibility to keep up with the manufacturers recommendation. At K & K Automotive they will check this for you and replace the timing belt free of charge (when required). It can cost anything from £300-800 to change the cam belt so a further saving can be made from garages offering this service.
If you are struggling to find what you want K & K Automotive also offer a search facility to source the car of your dreams, hassle free. Just call them on 01483 232515 with your wish list and they will call you back within 24 hours with their results.
If all this wasn’t enough to keep their customers happy an offer of a free, premium 15 month warranty (parts and labour) is provided when a vehicle is sold at screen price between Oct 2010 - March 2011.
K & K Automotive is run by two ex-sales managers who left Renault at the beginning of 2009 to start their own empire in the motor trade, a consistent effort has been made to revolutionise the stereo type of the ‘used car dealer’. This ambitious plan has never been easy for them and though they will never admit to being perfect a refreshing attitude to customer service is a welcome change within the industry.
Marketing Director, Steve Kerslake said ‘we are determined to change peoples perception of the typical used car dealer and our plans are starting to pay off. I don’t think anyone can say that making money is easy at the moment but consistent recommendations has ensured business has remained buoyant. This fresh approach to used car sales really does work! We have introduced a new, none pushy policy to give our customer more space when they come to visit our forecourt’.
This new policy is designed to give people time to look around and feel confident about their purchase. A conscious effort is made to create a stress free atmosphere and no pressure is put on customers to buy.
