Richtoy provides fuel for thought

Industry experts are expecting petrol prices to reach a new all-time high over the next two months, but drivers in Scunthorpe can now cut their fuel bills by up to 15 per cent thanks to a new engine tuning service from Richtoy.

Factors such as the recent uncertainty surrounding the huge Essex oil refinery in Coryton, which supplies 20 per cent of the fuel for the south-east of England, and the on-going troubles in the Gulf have led to a further increase in wholesale prices, which are expected to hit pumps on the garage forecourt very soon.

“Beleaguered motorists are facing a double whammy, with fuel prices unstable and also wider concerns about the on-going economic situation at home and abroad.

“The economic squeeze is hitting from every angle, so the thought of saving money via reduced running costs for your car is a very attractive proposition.  A retune also offers improved performance, better responsiveness and greater torque,” said Richard Clayton, Managing Director at Richtoy.

In fact, petrol prices have shot up by more than 15 per cent in the past year following crude oil rises and tax hikes, so the latest increase will hit extra hard.

And diesel drivers who initially thought they might have been saving on fuel costs are also feeling particularly hard done by because the gap between diesel and petrol prices is at its highest for three years. Indeed, on average filling up with diesel costs at least 7p a litre more than unleaded according to AA figures.

However, Richtoy in Winterton is an approved Viezu dealer and in some cases its products can offer up to 15 per cent fuel improvement. And with the average two-car family petrol bill rocketing by an extra £420 in 2011, this can add up to quite a significant saving.

Cutting fuel bills couldn’t be simpler or quicker at Richtoy. After booking an appointment the car will be checked and the car’s engine control unit (ECU) read. The customer is then fully consulted to see what improvements they would like, whether it’s improved fuel economy, better performance or both!

A bespoke file is then written and uploaded into the ECU, with the whole process only taking a couple of hours.

“Our unique engine tuning service really is offering a silver lining to local motorists. We believe it is the best tuning service available in the UK and all our products and services come with a full money back guarantee.

“Therefore, tough times needn’t spell all doom and gloom, as one of our engine tunes not only offers improved MPG but also lower emissions. We would urge any motorists wanting to save money to give us a call on 01724 735282 to see what’s possible,” added Toyne Fox.

Viezu’s BlueOptimize fuel economy tuning has been internationally recognised as world class leading technology and has won the company the UK Chamber of Commerce “Innovation In Technology” award for 2011.

Engine retune offers silver lining to motorists

New car sales in the UK have dipped to their lowest for more than a decade but modern car engine performance is possible without buying a new motor thanks to Richtoy in Winterton.

That’s because Richtoy is an approved Viezu Dealer, one of the UK’s leading bespoke tuning specialists, whose engine improving services cover 90 per cent of modern European vehicles.

In some instances Viezu’s products give drivers a massive 15 per cent improvement in fuel economy.

“Due to the uncertain economic situation more and more people are delaying buying a new car and this would suggest that there’s going to be an increased number of older cars on the UK’s roads.

“However, drivers needn’t suffer from ageing car problems thanks to our bespoke engine tuning service. Among the main benefits are reduced emissions and lower running costs, so not only are they helping to reduce any environmental impact but also ultimately saving money, a very appealing prospect at a time when every penny counts for many,” said Richard Clayton, Managing Director at Richtoy.

And the process couldn’t be simpler or quicker at Richtoy. After booking an appointment the car will be checked and the car’s engine control unit (ECU) read. The customer is then fully consulted to see what improvements they would like, whether it’s better performance, improved fuel economy, or both!

A bespoke file is then written and uploaded into the ECU, with the whole process only taking a couple of hours.

Richard Clayton added: “It would seem that drivers who do decide to buy a new car are thinking ‘green’ with smaller models but motorists don’t have to shell out on a brand new vehicle when our engine tuning service can offer significant emissions reductions.

“Indeed, in many cases emissions can be cut while performance is improved at the same time.”

BMW X5 IS FIRST CHOICE FOR CAR THIEVES IN 2010

Here are some interesting facts about Tracker…


£25k or less is the average value of stolen vehicles recovered by TRACKER.

 

BMW X5, Land Rover Range Rover, BMW M3 and the Audi RS4 remain the UK’s most desirable cars for today’s thieves, according to the latest figures from stolen vehicle recovery expert, TRACKER. These four cars all retain their top positions in TRACKER’s top ten most frequently stolen and recovered vehicles of 2010. 65 per cent of the vehicles recovered by TRACKER last year were worth an average of £25k. TRACKER reminds motorists to think security and remember that thieves don’t just target cars with a large price tag.

 

“Once again our top ten shows the thieves favourites with the Mercedes SLK and CLK also remaining at the top of the league,” says Stephen Doran, managing director of TRACKER. “The VW Golf is an interesting new entry at number nine, proving that it’s not just owners of prestige vehicles who need to take note. In fact, 65 per cent of the vehicles we recovered in 2010 were worth £25k or less with just 6 per cent being worth £50k to £100k.”

 

The lowest value vehicles stolen and recovered were a Peugeot 406 and Ford Sierra at £1,000. The highest value cars stolen and recovered were a Mercedes Benz CL63 AMG at £120,000 and a Bentley GTC at £130,000, but they represented just 1 per cent of the total stolen and recovered vehicles in 2010.

 

Stephen Doran continues, “These figures show that all car owners are a target for thieves. And with 84 per cent of all the cars we recovered last year being stolen using the keys, we remind every car owner to keep their keys safe at all times. However, having a tracking device fitted will significantly increase the chances of police locating and recovering a stolen vehicle. TRACKER works like an electronic homing device, combining GSM, GPS and VHF technology to provide the ultimate in peace of mind should the worst happen.”

 

TRACKER works with all 52 police forces in the UK; a relationship that has led to over 2,000 arrests. TRACKER systems include signal jamming detection and work even if the vehicle is hidden in a container or taken underground.

 

Concludes Stephen Doran: “With the most robust stolen vehicle technology in one discreet unit, TRACKER is a major defence in helping car owners protect themselves from thieves.”

Remember YOUR CAR, YOUR CHOICE!

IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHERE YOUR CAR IS REPAIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT.


Following an accident, it’s your legal right to have your car repaired anywhere of your choice.

Remember YOUR CAR, YOUR CHOICE


The motor vehicle insurance policy holder has the right to choose the repairer who they wish to carry out the required repairs and is not obliged to use only the insurance company’s appointed repairer.

 

This has been agreed between the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and the Association Of British Insurers (ABI).

 

The only exception is where this, for commercial reasons, has been made an express condition of the policy and has been written into the insurance policy’s terms and conditions to which the policy holder has been made aware.

 

Insurance companies arrange accident repairs to keep their own costs down. Does keeping their own costs down mean repairing your car cheaply? What level of service and quality of repair will you receive? Will original manufacturer parts be used or imitation parts? Will your manufacturer’s warranty remain intact?

 

Imitation, or non-OE, parts may not fit correctly. They are sometimes provided without surface, or rust, protection. Using non-OE parts will invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty. After your home, your car is probably the most valuable possession you own. You and your family will travel in your motor vehicle at speeds up to 70 mph. Don’t accept and compromise in the quality of repair to your car.

 

Remember Richtoy has a fully equipped Bodyshop that will repair your car to the highest of standards without cutting corners.
