Car checks for women drivers

When time and money are in short supply there's usually something higher on our priority lists than our car. Yet we want it to be safe, run economically and to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Maybe we do check the oil and our tyres regularly (or he does that for us) but is that thorough enough to spot any obvious bills looming? The FOXY way is to let a female friendly professional carry out regular 'no obligation' car checks for you, once or twice a year.

All car checks take about 20 minutes and include tyres, lights, windscreen, oil and coolant levels as a minimum. When carried out by a Bosch Car Service garage (the only UK garage network to operate to an OFT approved code of practice), FOXY Car Fitness Checks include an emissions test and a seasonal check as follows:

• Spring Car Fitness Check includes your air conditioning system
• Summer Car Fitness Check includes your brake fluid efficiency
• Autumn Car Fitness Check includes your battery
• Winter Car Fitness Check includes your antifreeze

Rest assured that you will not be expected to pay for anything you do not want to buy because all participating garages have signed the female friendly FOXY Promise© stating "We will never knowingly overcharge, patronise or sell our customers services they do not need or want."

FOXY Classic online membership for women drivers costs £20 per annum, plus a one-off £3 joining fee. This subscription is instantly repaid by a free accident assistance package worth £25 providing professional claims advice and up to £50k legal fees. Other benefits include free quarterly car fitness checks worth £60, MOT and car servicing offers at female friendly garages and a motoring support helpdesk for practical advice and information about women's car insurance, new cars and everyday motoring bills.
