Kwik-Fit Fleet has enhanced its company car and van winter tyre programme and is urging organisations considering switching from standard tyres to place orders as soon as possible.
Kwik-fit launched its winter tyre programme in 2010-11 and since then has seen corporate demand for winter tyres increase - notably from light commercial vehicle operators and businesses where it is critical for car and van drivers to be mobile irrespective of whether conditions.
Kwik-Fit Fleet will confirm driver and vehicle details, exact tyre requirements, preferred centre to be used for fitment and approval for ‘hotel’ storage of standard tyres. Drivers will be offered an appointment for the tyre switchover within three to five working days at their chosen centre.
Peter Lambert, fleet director, Kwik-Fit, said: “We have enhanced our winter tyre service to make it much slicker for drivers to be able to have their tyres swapped at a time and location that is convenient to them.
“Since launching our specialist winter tyre programme we have built up a record of the quantity, make and size of tyres required by customers which enables a more appropriate stock mix.”
“In 2010-11 there was a shortage of tyres globally but as demand has increased so manufacturers have raised production levels. But factories have now produced their 2012-13 supplies and once sold no more will be available. However, presently Kwik-Fit has plentiful supplies in a wide range of makes and sizes.”
As in previous years, Kwik-Fit Fleet is offering a ‘hotel’ facility that sees it remove, pack, label and store each company car and van’s summer tyres in its National Distribution Centre for £10 per tyre per seasonal change.
