Have you ever booked your car in for servicing with us before? Well if you did, you were probably more than likely to get in touch with Gary. Our service advisor that's been part of the Motorist Team for a good while. Gary is a big fan of his car, and although we try to always convince him that his paint has faded away, he never gives up and tries to convince us that's how it comes from factory. Well we can argue on that!

Anyway, now let's move on and talk a bit about his car, a Skoda Octavia VRS 1.8T, with an amazing 233.000 miles on the clock! He's owned this car from 2008, after working at Skoda for a while and he fell in love with them, constantly having one in the showroom. He's the second owner of the car, and bought it with just 40.000 miles on the clock, the rest of the miles are the result of what years and years of daily driving look like. Now it gets to rest for a bit and only gets driven once a week in the good weather. It's still on its original engine & gearbox and fully standard inside out. And in that amount of miles, it has never failed him and never had any break downs. It had partial paint work in 2020 to take care of some imperfections and may receive a bit more paint work this winter. He knows he'll never sell it and he tries to do his best to keep it running well.

We hope you enjoy this rather different approach at meeting our team here at The Motorist, and it seems that so far our staff really loves yellow cars!
