At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, we all know we should look after our cars because a poorly-maintained one will be less safe, less reliable, less environmentally-friendly and more expensive to run than it would be otherwise.

Add to this two self-fulfilling prophesies; that a neglected car will repay you with expensive bills and that a car with a regular servicing history is a more appealing buy than one without.

Yet many drivers admit that they don't visit their local garage as often as they might or take good enough care of their cars in between these occasions.

To help women run safer cars, FOXY Lady Drivers Club includes a new package of special membership services, called 'FOXY Mondays', where nice garage professionals check the car's safety and maintenance needs on a regular basis..

In exchange for FOXY's annual subscription of just £30, women can now claim a free annual safety inspection (worth £15) and four free maintenance checks a year (each worth £10) on Mondays, from participating garages and dealerships.

This means that professionals can double-check that the vehicle is safe and properly looked after, on a regular basis.

What an utterly brilliant idea, only a woman’s brain could conjure up an incentive like this. There are loads of participating friendly garages up and down the country so contact them to find out more on 01903 879988 or visit their website www.foxyladydrivers.com
