Many prospective American car enthusiasts are undoubtedly
put off purchasing a classic, or other pre-owned American car
because they are not sure how easy it will be to keep it on the
road. With an ever-increasing number of American cars
now reaching these shores, the choice of "American iron" is greater
than ever, but this important consideration cannot be
ignored.
Fortunately, there is a clear answer to these concerns.
USAutomotive Ltd, perhaps
Britain's best-known American car parts
supplier, has been providing unrivalled back-up for the
UK's growing number of American car owners since
opening its doors, 10 years ago.
"We make it our business to stock most regular service
items, such as air and oil filters, spark plugs and hoses, in order
to keep engines operating efficiently," says company co-director,
Steve Trice. "It's so important on a big engine,
bearing in mind how much economy you could be losing and the
associated fuel costs these days. We also stock brake
pads, shoes and shock absorbers for a wide variety of vehicles, and
if we don't have the parts on our shelves ready for instant
despatch, we can usually obtain them very quickly from the
USA.
"Over the past couple of years in particular, there has
been a significant influx of Chevrolet day vans, last-generation
Mustangs and large American saloons.
These have been imported and auctioned in the
UK on a weekly basis, and many have found their
way into the hands of American car enthusiasts for the first time,"
adds Steve. "We know this because owners call us for
parts and are genuinely thrilled to be able to talk to someone who
understands their vehicles and can offer real guidance and advice."
USAutomotive holds an extensive library of
industry-standard reference manuals, covering the whole spectrum of
American cars. Using these, it's a straightforward
operation to identify components, check stock levels and order up,
if required.
First-time American car owners looking to keep their
vehicles in top condition can contact USAutomotive Ltd at
their Bedford premises, on 01234 273155,
email sales@usautomotive.co.uk
or visit the company web site. In addition, many
components can now be purchased on-line, at www.usautomotive.co.uk.
