Foster & Heanes Garage in Fleet – MOT, Car Servicing, Car Repair Blog
The British Summer Getaway is sadly now associated with traffic delays and frustration. We have all seen (and perhaps experienced personally) the long, long delays at Dover this year – 15 miles of tailbacks with some travellers being forced to wait for 15 hours before being able to board the ferry. The unprecedented levels of chaos this time was blamed on the increased security checks at Calais, but each year Kent and many other main routes across the UK have us grid-locked in our cars with nowhere to go.
Foster & Heanes is delighted to be sponsoring the Classic Car Show at West Green House in Hartley Wintney which will be held on 25th September 2016.

‘Car Clocking’, ‘Cut-and-Shut’, ‘Car Cloning’ – these are just some of the more common techniques used by rogue car dealers to fool you into buying a car that isn’t what it seems.
Don’t get stung! Ensure you check you are buying from a reputable dealer and do your homework! Check price guides and compare similar makes and models of the car you are interested in. Also ask about the service history and ask to see previous MOT certificates, service records and any repair bills.
If you are looking to buy a used car, it’s advisable to check the service and MOT history of the vehicle. Knowing if there are any outstanding MOT Advisory notes for the car will help you to make an informed purchase decision, and perhaps will open up negotiations to buy at a better price if advisories do exist.
