Remember YOUR CAR, YOUR CHOICE!

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Richard

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.

We can service your car and maintain your factory warranty!

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Richard

Did you know we can service your car and maintain your factory warranty?

Cars have become more and more “computers on wheels”. While technological innovations provide better emissions control as well as more safety and comfort, they have made it increasingly challenging to service or repair a vehicle.

Effective access to technical information, multi-brand diagnostic tools and test equipment, spare parts and training is crucial for the independent Garage to survive in this competitive environment.

Richtoy has all of the above in order to service all brands of cars maintaining Manufacturer’s Warranty.

In summary, please remember if you have a new car it is your right to who services it and the benefits to you are, cheaper servicing bills and more thorough job. Furthermore should

you get a Manufacturers fault on the car we will liaise with the main dealer to resolve the situation. This will save you time and reduce the stress involved.

With Petrol and Diesel Prices hitting all time high, Richtoyremap can help motorists reduce costs by 10% to 15%

With the economic downturn still upon us, tightening our purse strings has come as a natural response to riding the rather gloomy conditions especially as petrol and diesel prices continue to rise. In stark contrast, car manufacturers have been pouring money into advertising their more economic models, promising us more for our money and extra MPG. But is this counter offensive really working? Upgrading your car is never cheap, even if there are fuel benefits to be had.

Fortunately there is now a viable way of increasing the fuel economy of your current vehicle without having to buy a new 2011 model. ‘ECU remapping’ is the term given to the process of fine tuning a vehicle engine so that either fuel economies can be gained or an increase in power can be achieved. Furthermore, this form of engine tuning does not compromise the cars driving behaviour and generally enhances it.

ECU remapping has traditionally been the preserve of the ‘go-faster-brigade’ but with diesel and petrol prices soaring the remappers have turned their attention from performance in 0-60 times to performance at the pumps. Richtoyremap are now offering the very best in economy as well as performance engine tuning.

The benefits of a remap, are a reduction in fuel costs and also helps the environment by being that little bit more greener. Richtoyremap offer three types of remap, Economy, Performance or a blend of the two, Richtoyremap can safely optimise your vehicle’s fuel economy, BHP and torque.

Typical fuel savings are as follows:

Turbo diesel models: 10 -15% extra fuel economy

Turbo petrol models: 7 – 12% extra fuel economy

What type of vehicles can be remapped: Most cars and vans from the year 2000 onwards. A list of vehicles can be found on www.richtoyremap.com

Standard vehicle service cost: Most remaps start from £299 and we are so confident with the product we offer a 30 Day money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied with the results and all software remaps are guaranteed for lifetime.

To book a remap or to discuss further please contact:-

Wheel Alignment

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Richard

Wheel alignment is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. If anything has been changed to do with the suspension and steering, the alignment should be checked. If you are experiencing uneven tyre wear, pulling to the left or right, uncentred steering wheel, or poor handling, you should have this checked as soon as possible. If you have your suspension uprated with springs, shocks, or coilovers, you should have an alignment done at the same time.

An alignment isn’t just something to have done when you experience a problem or had a modification. Routine alignments are always good practice to carry out i.e. at the time of a service. This can transform the handling and drivability of your car and sometimes MPG. With the current condition of the UK’s roads, it is very easy for your car to come out of alignment.

We can offer a full four wheel laser alignment service, using the very latest equipment, and specialist technicians starting from £60.00 inc VAT.

We have the latest alignment equipment to be able to align your car perfectly and have a customer waiting area where you can have a coffee while your car is expertly aligned.

All our Technicians are ATA trained and will explain the process and options in detail if required.

Settings can be fine tuned for optimum tyre life, or ultimate handling.

Replacement suspension parts can be fitted before carrying out a full Geometry check.

We can offer alignment for all brands of cars

We don’t just align your car to within range, we aim to get your car exactly in the middle of the range ensuring the very best driving and handling possible. With many cars, this is difficult to achieve, but we spend the right amount of time, to get it right!

There is a big difference between a basic tracking check performed by a high street tyre outlet and a full specialist 4 wheel laser alignment adjustment. Good regular alignment checks are an investment against adverse tyre wear and as such pay for themselves.

4 Wheel Laser Alignment – £72.00 inc VAT, this includes all adjustable front/rear end settings to within manufacturers range

Specialist Settings from £99.00 inc VAT (fast road / trackday / cars with other adjustable aftermarket components)

Additional charges may be applied when suspension components are seized and require work to free up and make adjustable.

ECU Remapping and Car Tuning For Better Fuel Economy

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Richard

Turn on your radio or TV and it will not be long before you are offered an ECU remap, but it’s likely to be ECU remapping in disguise. It’s true, nearly all vehicle manufactures are now offering ECU remapping and car tuning for improved fuel economy, better MPG and even carbon reduction. These services have nice product names like blue motion, blue efficiency, blue injection, and kinetically tuned, etc. By any other name this is a remap of the vehicles ECU to make it run differently, in most cases to give the vehicle better MPG and better fuel economy. How is this different from a Richtoy economy tune and remap? Simple you don’t need to buy a brand new vehicle! Whilst manufactures have finally switched to offer the motorist a choice for better fuel economy, all only offer these advances and new technology on brand new vehicles. However, the principle is the same, tuning of the engine to give improved efficiency and better MPG.

With worldwide fuel prices at all time highs, and seemingly going up by the day more and more companies and private motorists are having their vehicles tuned for fuel economy and fuel efficiency than ever before, everyone wants to save fuel and money where they can and they don’t want to have a to buy a new vehicle to see the gains.

Fuel saving tuning and economy saving improvements made to a vehicles ECU can see savings of between 10 – 15%. All Richtoy tuning comes with money back promise and insurance so motorists can try and buy with confidence.

Fuel economy tuning is for the life of the vehicle and so it’s a one off payment that can pay the driver back many times over

If you would like to know more about car tuning and remapping please visit us at 1-2 King Street, Winterton, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. DN15 9RN, contact us on 01724 735282 or e-mail us on enquires@richtoy.co.uk

Richtoy is an approved installer of Tracker

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Richard

Vehicle crime is an ever-present problem in the UK so it is important to protect your assets against theft and the inconveniences that come with vehicle theft.

All TRACKER’s stolen vehicle recovery products are operated by all 52 police forces in the UK.

Unlike GPS and GSM based systems Tracker uses Very High Frequency (VHF) systems that can still recover your vehicle even if it is in an underground car park, a shipping container or transported in a covered trailer.

As soon as the active unit is within range of a TRACKER equipped Police Vehicle it will be identified through a unique code known only to TRACKER and the Police.

TRACKER has recovered vehicles collectively worth over £400 million pounds since 1993 and enabled the police to make over 1900 arrests.

TRACKER’s Very High Frequency (VHF) stolen vehicle recovery systems work like an electronic homing device. A covert transmitter is hidden discretely in one of several dozen places around your vehicle. There is no visible aerial or other identifying feature so the thief can’t see it and won’t know it’s there. Unlike our competitors we have our own, purpose-built, radio network dedicated to getting your vehicle back -fast!

Monitor and Locate products can generate an alert if your vehicle is moved without your knowledge – we then contact you to ensure your vehicle is secure. From then on there are four simple steps to getting your vehicle back:

Stage 1: Vehicle owner contacts TRACKER HQ and the police to inform that their vehicle has been stolen.

Stage 2: TRACKER HQ activates the unit hidden in the stolen vehicle via our VHF transmitter network. The vehicle is now emitting a silent land based radio signal.

Stage 3: The silent signal can now be picked up by any of the UK’s 52 police forces that are within the vicinity of the stolen vehicle. The signal will direct the police to the exact location of the stolen vehicle.

Stage 4: On customer request, a uniformed guard waits with your vehicle until it is recovered to a destination of your choice – anywhere in mainland Britain. This service applies only to stolen vehicles located within mainland Great Britain. We can also arrange to repatriate your vehicle from anywhere in Europe.

TRACKER Locate also has the benefits of GPS and GSM in addition to our proven VHF solution. With three means of location and two means of communication, Locate is probably the most effective stolen vehicle recovery system you can buy.For any other information or a chance to purchase a TRACKER device for your vehicle visit us at 1-2 King Street, Winterton, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. DN15 9RN, contact us on 01724 735282 or log onto www.richtoy.co.uk
