Mark Leech of Mick's Garages is offering a 10% discount off any order over €100 for IVVCC members.  They don't sell many classic parts but they can help keep your modern car in good condition.  www.micksgarage.ie
 

 

35% discount offer!

The IVVCC and Cartell are delighted to announce a 35% discount for our members and those of our affiliated clubs for vehicle information reports*.   Cartell, Ireland’s first car history check, was launched in May 2006 to help the consumer make an informed and secure choice when purchasing a used vehicle.

Furthermore, if you provide a history of your car to Cartell they will add the information to their files so that future buyers will be able to satisfy themselves about your vehicle's provenance.  This will add to a buyer's confidence, and help you sell for a better price.  As a reward for providing additional information you will receive a free copy of a report about your car from Cartell that you can display behind your windscreen at shows.

You can sample the Cartell service free by clicking on their logo above.  Enter the registration number of the car that you are enquiring about, and click "Get Report".  If you want further information you enter a discount code in the "Redeem Cartell Voucher" window.   You can obtain your discount code by emailing me at jflarkin@eircom.net and I will send a code back to you, normally within 24 hours.  Each code can be used only once.  You must provide me with your IVVCC membership number or the name of your IVVCC-affiliated club before I can provide the discount code.   John Larkin, IVVCC webmaster.

* Excluding vehicle inspection reports.
