Deputy Mayor of Tunbridge Wells opens new Halfords Autocentre in Town

(PRWEB UK) 10 January 2013

The Deputy Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, Councillor Dr Ronen Basu, took time out of his busy schedule to officially open a new business in the town.

Eight jobs have been created in Tunbridge Wells when the new Halfords Autocentre opened. The new garage in Spa Industrial Park is the latest garage to be opened by the national car repair, servicing and MOT network.

In addition to creating jobs in the town Halfords Autocentres is making a six-figure investment in acquiring and equipping the centre, and the company is set to spend a further ?15,000 per month with local suppliers, further boosting the region?s economy.

The company is also seeking to bring clarity for motorists by eliminating the jargon frequently spoken by mechanics. With nine out of ten car owners saying they are left bewildered by terminology used by garages, Halfords Autocentre is championing the use of ?plain English? and its Glossary of Garage Speak ? an easy to understand guide of motoring industry terms ? is available free of charge from the garage.

Manish Gokani, Regional Manager, Halfords Autocentres, comments: ?We have a terrific opportunity here to build up the business, offering even more motorists in Tunbridge Wells a trustworthy, friendly and value for money alternative.?

Mayor Ronen Basu commented: ?It was an honour to open the new Halfords Autocentre on Monday. It?s wonderful to see a business expanding in the area. I enjoyed talking to the technicians; they?re a really enthusiastic and friendly bunch, eager to do an excellent job for the people of Tunbridge Wells. I wish them every luck with their new business.?

Manish Gokani continued: ?The investment gives us a fresh, purpose built space, equipped with the very latest technology and tools that enable us to service all makes and models of cars, old and new.

It puts us in the very best position to meet the demand created by Tunbridge Wells motorists looking for a better deal. We?re working hard to lower the cost of motoring by providing main dealer quality at more affordable prices, something that is resonating strongly in these tough times.?
