Great day of parking fun

We held the parking competition on Tuesday, and then had to set it up again on Thursday as we had more people wanting to try the Focus that parks itself. Everyone seemed to like the idea of the parking aid, but a lot thought it felt very strange to let go of the steering wheel and let the car do it for you. Customers who hadn't parked a car with just park assist were impressed and are looking to have us fit these to there existing car. The overall winner of parking the car without any aid was one of the first to try Sarah Kellett, who parked with only a 6am gap between the tyre and the kerb. If my memory serves me correctly she said "If I win this my husband will never believe it" Well Sarah will have some proof when we see her next week to hand over her prize.

Keep cool this summer, with this celebration offer

The first Birthday offer starts today, and as its 15 years yes you guessed it's £15 off our normal prices.

We often get asked... Why have your air conditioning serviced???? Well there is the obvious one that it is not cold enough or it will not de-mist the windows. Your car can lose up to 15% of its refrigerant every year which can lead to the system having to work harder to keep you cool, which can on some cars lead to the engine working harder and using more fuel. Also a poorly performing system can cause a build-up of fungus, bacteria and other microbes growing inside causing a smell.

What is the difference between a regas and an Air conditioning service?
Well a regas is just that, we recover the existing gas from the system and vacuum it out , and then refill as required. And a service is as the regas but we will add a dye during the recharge of the system to enable us to check for leaks from the system, using a UV light. We also run a cleaner through the ducts of the heating system to kill any bacteria build up, and take away any nasty smells, carry out tests on the system controls, for both heating and cooling, and check that all is working correctly.

Can you do this on any make of car?
Yes to 95% of them, please call us with the make and model of your car, and we will be able to tell you there and then. As with car servicing and MOT, we can carry out an air con service to any car.

So if your air conditioning is not behaving itself call us today to make an appointment on 01280 812121 and speak to Paul or David.

New cars, New number plates 11

The first of many new cars are being collected by customers today, on the new 11 number plate.

The first one here at Buckingham, was collected by Mervyn, bright and early this morning.

Mervin has been buying his cars here for some time now, he has said in the past "Its because the coffee is good" but today he told us the real reason why he keeps coming back.

I have had my last 3 Fiesta's from James at Buckingham Ford, I get on really well with James and the team at the garage, and see no reason why I shouldn't continue to deal with both the sales and service side of the business.

Thank you again Buckingham Ford

Mervyn

Holidays are over and the new 60 reg is here

The new 60 registrations are hitting the road today, early indications are very strong, we have more cars going this first week of September, than we have in the last 2 years.

I am not sure what this indicates, apart from the fact the offers available are very strong on new Ford cars at present, even to the extent we are showing customers buying on finance a saving over some nearly new models.

Have a look at the great 60 plate deals on our new car page
