The cornerstone of this success is high quality products like the Top Tec motor oil series. These premium oils are suited for every modern car, deliver great performance and carry official approvals from the car manufacturers. The Top Tec series are top-notch products with state of the art Fully Synthetic oils and powerful additive packages. All of them rapidly deliver the oil even at low temperatures and provide premium lubrication. They reduce friction and thereby safeguard from wear and lower fuel consumption. Their high shear stability gives the engine an extra protection and their aging stability allows oil change intervals up to 30,000 miles (depending on the manufacturer’s specifications). In addition cleaning additives help to keep deposits and contaminants off the engine and the oil system. Each LIQUI MOLY Top Tec oil is developed for a specific engine technology. Top Tec 4100, for instance, carries the latest BMW longlife-04 approval as well as the Porsche A40 approval. Top Tec 4200 targets most cars of the Volkswagen group, including Audi, Skoda, and Seat. Top Tec 4300 was designed for Asian cars and for Peugeot and Citroën vehicles. Top Tec 4400 is primarily for Renault cars. Top Tec 4500 is for Asian cars and some Ford models. Other Ford models and Opel/Vauxhall are covered by Top Tec 4600. As part of LIQUI MOLY’s continued commitment to offer the workshop the newest developments in the industry as soon as they are available our Top Tec 4600 now carries the newest Mercedes 229.52 approval for their latest Euro 6 engines. Because all of the six LIQUI MOLY Top Tec oils are approved by the car manufacturers, it is safe to use them without putting the vehicle’s warranty at risk. Those premium oils are the perfect choice for workshops who want to offer premium service. The Top Tec series is available in 205 litre drums, 60 litre drums and 5 litre canisters. They are also available in handy 1 litre canisters – a good opportunity to offer the customer after the oil change additional top-up oil to be kept in the car, so he always has proper oil at hand in case his motor needs some refilling. Ask your local Andrew Page branch for a free Engine Flush Plus with the purchase of any 5L Top Tec Oil. Offer available in some areas only.

Motorists simply tell us what’s wrong with their car (and where they live) and local garages and specialists provide a quote. Once a garage has been chosen, and the repair is completed, there’s one vital final stage: drivers leave a review for the garage. Great performers get the fanfare they deserve, while others can address any criticisms they receive. It’s a virtuous circle - and we’re lifting the lid on the facts. What do your customers say? Most popular words - positive reviews, 96% of total: How popular is WhoCanFixMyCar.com? • Over 30,000 jobs posted on our site in 2014, with 4x growth during the year! • Almost 5,500 garages registered on WhoCanFixMyCar.com How good are our garages!? It’s the all-important question: it’s no use having thousands of reviews if they’re all negative! Fortunately, they’re not: • The average score (out of ten) in 2014 was 9.2, and 96% of customers would recommend the garage they used. • Our garages’ reviews actually got better throughout the year, as negative feedback was quickly addressed and garages went the extra mile (see below) Most popular words - negative reviews, 4% of total: What does this mean for businesses? The common themes here are fascinating. Glowing reviews reference service, recommending, helpful, experience, honest, quickly time and time again. Negative reviews, however will focus on delays, prices, and not being kept in the loop. But… how important are reviews to today’s customer? In short… they’re essential. Our own customers tell us us they’re 2.5x more important than price when it comes to choosing a great local garage, with Google’s ‘Gearshift’ survey (2013) states recommendation as the most influential factor, even ahead of face-to-face treatment at the garage itself. Meanwhile a recent Nielsen study says that 27% more of us trust online reviews than did four years ago - so they are only becoming more influential over time. 12 www.andrewpage.com In short, the playing field - if not level - is getting flatter. For generations, well-known brand names were bywords for certain attributes (value, speed, quality, reliability), creating emotional connections between brand and customer. Smaller, independent businesses couldn’t hope to compete with the brand strength of their high-street competitors. However, now that it’s simple to compare products and services online - irrespective of brand strength - so smaller players with good offerings have begun eating away at their better-known competitors (witness the rise of Kia and Hyundai at the expense of mainstream European brands, for example.) We see exactly the same effect amongst our garages. Very quickly, little-known local specialists begin building great reputations on WhoCanFixMyCar.com - indeed, there’s a direct correlation between great reviews and new customers just as it should be!

At ExCel – The London Classic Car Show gathered some of the world’s finest classic cars under one roof, bringing them to life! One of the show’s unique features was the Grand Avenue, a motoring catwalk that allowed the star cars to be fired up and driven around the show! At NEC – Autosport International ran alongside the Performance Car Show. Cars from all forms of motorsport shared floor space with a fantastic array of supercars from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren. The annual, four-day event now in its 25th year concluded with attendance figures of 82,000, well above 2014. If modern, high performance is your preference then the NEC was the place to be Europe's largest motorsport show, Autosport International, now celebrating its 25th anniversary was packed full of dream cars, motorsport stars and exhilarating live action with features such as the F1 Racing Grid, Dunlop MSA AUTO INSIDER 15 AUTO INSIDER_07.qxp 20/01/2015 12:58 Page 16 AUTO INSIDER 16 www.andrewpage.com AUTO INSIDER_07.qxp 20/01/2015 12:58 Page 17 BTCC display, Wales Rally GB display and the infamous Autosport central stage featuring interviews with some of motorsports biggest names. Amongst the guests interviewed on stage were Petter Solberg - the first World Champion in two different FIA disciplines, David Coulthard – ex Formula 1 driver & BBC F1 commentator and Allan McNish – three time 24 hr LeMans winner. One of the things that makes the Autosport show special is that the fans also get their chance to put questions to the various guests. The Performance Car Show runs as part of the same event, and is packed full of the world's rarest and most expensive supercars. Main features included the Autocar supercar display, including the exciting Lamborghini Huracan, gorgeous BMW i8, powerful Ferrari 458 Special and rare Vuhl 05. Always a favourite at the show, the Live Action Arena is the UK’s largest indoor racetrack. Based in the largest hall of the NEC and seating 5000 racing fans, the Live Action is a unique experience with all those wonderful sounds and smells assaulting your senses – Petrol Head Heaven. A wide range of classic cars and supercars on display, including one of the earliest Series 1 Land Rovers and a Porsche 959 – a twin-turbocharged homologation special that was once the world's fastest production supercar. Other highlights include James May's 13 most significant cars, a live parade section, a homage to the career of Red Bull designer Adrian Newey, a celebration of 100 years of Maserati and myriad historic race cars. A selection of modern cars also feature, including a Citroen DS3 – as part of the DS brand's 60th anniversary. Alongside the Citroens, there was everything from a 1920s Bugatti Type 35B, to a 1990s Bugatti EB110, and from a 1930s Jaguar SS1, to a Jaguar XJ220. There were cars from the dawn of motoring, including a 1902 Curved Dash Oldsmobile, and competition cars such as a Group 4 Lancia Stratos from the 1970s. While 120 miles to the south a somewhat more mature, but equally passionate crowd was experiencing the first London Classic Car Show: Great marques from all eras exhibits included examples from Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, Rolls Royce and Bentley. There was even a quartet of genuine Formula One cars from the 1950s to the 1980s, all of which were driven along the Grand Avenue. “The capital hasn’t had a traditional classic car show for years – and it’s never had an event like the this” - Event Director Bas Bungish The show organisers said that they are hoping to build an event to rival existing classic car spectaculars in Paris and Essen – based on this year’s show, the future looks bright.

Well, it’s certainly his fault that I was at a motor racing circuit at just 6 weeks old, in my pram. My mother joyfully pushed me around Silverstone’s perimeters whilst my dad pedalled a Mk 1 Capri in the team event, back when it was invitation only. That’s right you had to be a certain standard of driver, thankfully he was a naturally quick racer although did not do many events and went on to compete in hill climbs and do track days. His passion for cars though, building kit cars and engineering uprated brake kits for classic Triumphs and engine rebuilds just meant I was totally immersed in all things petrol head. It might feel like a slight tangent but the relevance here is that I returned to the Birkett, only this time not as a sleeping baby, but with my own race car and a spirit to win. Team Turtle Wax was led by our number 1 mechanic, Paul Amiss and included drivers Chris Mills and David Gardener from AutoRevive London in a Ginetta G27 and Sanjay Talwar with Adam Dawson in a classic 911. Our first job after deciding tactics was to ensure all race cars were gleaming! Having a car care brand as a title sponsor means this is just as important as winning! Thankfully we have Rhys who is in charge of this and he did a salient job here. The race itself is 6 hours long, as the name might suggest, and success depends on a number of factors including mechanical sympathy, slick driver and car changes and consistent lap times without unnecessary risk taking. The 986 Boxster could do longer stints than the 911 and Ginetta so it was down to Paul to ensure the strategy took this into 20 www.andrewpage.com account, as well as making sense competitively. My first stint was 1 hour long and after getting into a comfortable rhythm I really felt as if I could drive for longer, so with a lot of fuel still left in the tank I was slightly disappointed that the pit board was shown for me to come in. Paul knew what he was doing though and without any delay the next car was out to race! What makes this a rather special event, other than from the personal perspective, is that a wide variety of cars with vast power differences all compete in the same race, albeit in different classes and it’s a fun season ender. It’s a bit like a party but for racing drivers, big names including Graham Hill, AUTO INSIDER_07.qxp 20/01/2015 12:58 Page 21 Gerry Marshall and even Steve McQueen have joined the party over the years. My next stint was longer at 1 hour and 15 minutes and the physical training must have paid off because it was not a struggle to cope with. Chris Mills finished with the final stint and his impeccable driving meant we maintained our lead as Team Turtle Wax finished 1st in class! This was the perfect way to end the season.

The reason behind the addition of water pump kits is the fact that there is a trend among the vehicle manufacturers to integrate more of their engine systems, as they pursue the engine emission and fuel consumption reductions that have been imposed by worldwide legislation. As a result, there are an increasing number of vehicles with engines that now incorporate the water pump into the timing drive system, rather than as part of the auxiliary drive system, hence the requirement for a combined water pump and timing belt kit programme. “There is complete logic behind changing both components (water pump and timing belt) at the same time,” says Dayco UK country manager, Steve Carolan, “as it provides garages with a profit opportunity and their customers with the confidence that their vehicle has benefitted from a full and thorough repair. “Although for the best of intentions, workshops sometimes try to save their customers money by carrying out a partial repair and replacing only the component that has failed or is specified for change in the service schedule, this policy runs the risk of their customers having to face a much larger bill for a full repair at a later date when the component not replaced goes onto fail. “Therefore, for peace-of-mind and a cost-effective long-term precaution, as well as being the most profitable/cost effective outcome for garages and motorists, Dayco recommend that for all applications that feature a timing belt driven water pump, they opt for a full timing drive system replacement, rather than change a failing water pump or timing belt in isolation.” Dayco offer a comprehensive range of 215 water pump kits that include an original equipment water pump alongside the usual belt, tensioner and idler combination. This provides workshops with all the components necessary to undertake a full water pump and timing drive system replacement. Three-Year Warranty Dayco can further extend this peace-of-mind for all parties when fitting one of its High Tenacity (HT) water pump/timing belt kits. These kits include a Dayco HT or ‘white’ belt and workshops that fit these kits can extend the existing two-year warranty on the kit by a further year and therefore provide their customers with a three-year warranty. The Long Life + 1 year warranty is a perfect example of how Dayco technology can provide workshops with a ‘real world’ competitive advantage over those fitting other brands. It also gives the motorist a level of protection that cannot often be matched, even by the franchised dealer. The combination of guaranteed OE quality products, relevant technical expertise and product support such as the Long Life +1 year warranty, makes Dayco the first choice for discerning professionals.
