Last weekend I headed for an area around the Wash for a couple of days R & R. Advancing floodwaters meant 15 to 20miles north of Branston we could be boating!  We saw cars in ditches and radio traffic alerts warned of impassable roads. And we were in the Jaguar not the Range Rover! Stiff British upper lip time! 

If floodwater gets into your vehicle, your insurance company could write it off due to water ingress to vital components such as ECUs, electronic control units! Its very hard to remove the smell let alone get floors fully dry. Carpets and trims need replacing. Then there’s all those components to consider under the bonnet and hidden around your vehicle.  

Check out your destination first, find out where the delays are and areas to be avoided.  Ensure your vehicle is in good working order. Carry a hivis jacket, torch and working mobile phone. Have warm drinks or water on board, high energy foods, such as snack bars and chocolate, a change of clothes, warm coat and blanket. Umbrella, Wellies too!

And finally keep the telephone number of a good garage handy that has the ability to get you out of the drink any time. Recovery is just one of the services we provide.

Do you know we have more than 2.5 million cars out on UK roads that have clocks taken back. Research has shown that on average a clocked vehicle has its odometer wound back by 70,000 miles! That’s shocking! But it happens. A shady exercise to get a better sale and selling price.

There is nothing shady, or underhand at Bushey Hall Garage. We pride ourselves on providing a first class service and quality repairs whatever a vehicles needs and our staff are trained by the best Bosch, using latest diagnostic equipment. We also do it a fraction of the price you will pay at a dealership.

Unfortunately there remain individuals who still buck the system, that do not know enough and who could ultimately cause an accident.
Choosing a good garage not only saves money, it saves lives.

Bushey Hall Garage aims to save you money and the planet, too!

We will repair tyres where we can, avoiding the need for a  new one and to reduce the 40m waste tyres produced in the UK every year!  500,000 are shipped out of the country to be landfilled and one site in Kuwait is now so vast it can be seen from space!

One thing our centre will not do is sell you a part worn tyre.  There’s no history and it may have been involved in an RTA, perhaps a contributory factor.  We will repair if we can, replacing with new if we have to..

So how do we reduce that waste!  Put it back on the roads!  Highways England are currently trialing a new asphalt road surface on the M1 between junctions 22 and 23 using granulated rubber in the mix. Up to 750 waste tyres could be used on every  kilometre of road.  They are checking for durability. Watch this space. 

For car or van checks and repairs, call Bushey Hall Garage on Watford (01923) 237135.
