It's quite natural for your car to get bumps and bruises as it makes its way through life. We ask a lot of our cars, and the environment we live in can take its toll on bodywork and mechanical components. We all want our car to be worth its maximum value and when it's time to trade it in for another, there are some easy ways to increase your car's value. Here are some tips on how to get the best price for your car when it's time to sell.

When was the last time you looked properly at your tyres to see if they were in good condition and set to the right pressures? Many modern cars are fitted with tyre pressure warning systems, lulling us into a sense of security that all is well, when actually something could be wrong with the tyre. So, let's look at some of the routine checks you need to make, and what to do if something isn't quite right. 

We all know we should replace our tyres when they're worn out, but keeping your wheels aligned is just as important for your safety and comfort when driving.

The annual MOT examination looks at key components of your car and determines whether it is safe and legal to drive, or not. So here are some tips to help your car ace the test.

At Thame Cars, we offer you a great way to keep your car in peak condition, in a simple and convenient way. In short, instead of thinking in terms of just getting your car serviced, we advise all our customers to consider signing up to our service plan scheme. This will cover any issues which your car might develop within the boundaries you agree with us, as well as all the usual maintenance checks, adjustments and minor repairs. And all for just a manageable monthly payment, so you’ll never have to pay a lump sum for your service.

I am often asked for advice on whether part worn tyres are a safe and good value alternative to brand new tyres. Tyres are absolutely essential to safe motoring, so it's really important to ensure that you make the right choice. Here are some tips and ideas to help you choose.

I was driving down Kingsey Road on my way out of Thame a while back when all of a sudden there was an almighty thud and the car lurched to the right.

Regular servicing and of course your annual MOT both play their part in ensuring that you get the best from your car. If you want a professional to keep an eye on things in between your car services we can provide a vehicle health check!

Kids movies are so much better these days than they used to be, don’t you think?

The big thing for me as a parent is that there’s plenty to keep me entertained as well as the children. 

Those subtle references or nods to nostalgia that go right over little heads but make me smile every time.

With half term coming here I’m sure we’ll be booking a cinema trip for some full family entertainment!
