Diamond: Repair service with car insurance

Wednesday, 18, Nov 2009 01:52

Diamond Car Insurance is promoting its garage network service which takes care of any servicing or repair work on its customers' cars.

New research by the insurer has discovered the Best Friend's Garage Network, which means women insured by Diamond will never have to deal with car mechanics again, could come in very handy for 52 per cent of the UK's females.

They admitted taking their car to the garage was a daunting prospect. And a third of the women surveyed said they would prefer a women-only garage.

Sian Lewis, managing director of Diamond, said: "Today's generation of female motorists are knowledgeable about cars and many do basic servicing themselves.

"According to our research over 70 per cent of women know how to check the oil, water and tyre pressure on their car. However garages still seem to be very much men's domain and can be intimidating for some women."

The Best Friends Garage Network deals with all aspects of customers' servicing, MOT or repair needs. The service, which gets quotes, books dates and even arranges collection and delivery, comes as part of all Diamond car insurance policies.
