‘Well oiled’ campaign launched by the Good Garage Scheme

A campaign to help motorists protect their vehicle engines and keep them on the road has been launched by the Good Garage Scheme. We have started a ‘Check Your Oil’ campaign following reports of the serious damage that can be caused to engines if nothing is done to protect them.

Recent reports on Channel 5’s Fifth Gear programme in July 2009 have suggested:

• 50 per cent of vehicles require regular oil top ups.
• One in five vehicles are low on oil.
• 25 cars a day are ruined due to lack of oil.
• 8 out of 10 cars checked recently needed oil top ups.
• New cars are as much at risk as old ones.
• No warranty covers repairs caused by lack of oil.

Motorists running into problems can take their vehicle into their nearest Good Garage Scheme member garage for assistance. Good Garage Scheme members will change the oil and add a treatment to maintain stability, prevent oil burning and ensuring proper lubrication.

Check out the campaign on the Good Garage Scheme website if you would like to be involved.
