The second big advan­

YSTEMS These are threefold:


price, speed, and stock. To take prices first — exhaust centres do not charge for fitting as other garages do, and the


| motorist pays for nothing more than the system itself.


This is a considerable


saving when one notes that up to two hours’ labour — at between £2.50 and £5 an h'our — is sometimes needed for fit­ ting an exhaust system.


A typical price, then, is the £22 that a standard


Ford Cortina system costs. But on top of the regu-

C l i th e r o e E x h a u s t Centre has -an expert manager with six years experience of exhausts


.for all kinds of car from . Minis to Rolls.


This expertise cuts


down the time to about 30 minutes involved in fit­ ting a system.


Thirdly, specialisation enables the Exhaust


■ Centre to carry a more "comprehensive range of stock than most normal garages have room for.


Says Clitheroe builder


Mr Vernon de Lay, the man behind the new exhaust venture: “We are starting with a stock of English and Continental exhausts worth £3,000, and will be able to pro­ vide an exhaust for any kind of car.”

range of high-quality stainless steel exhausts, but Mr de Lay advises customers who want a very specialised system to check by phone before go in g down to the' Centre. “With a twice-a-day


delivery service we can obtain almost anything in a matter of hours.” The opening of the


Centre has given a new lease of life to the pre­ mises in Candlemakers


Croft, which have been fitted out with the latest • equipment, and under­ gone a complete interior redecoration — including newly-plastered walls and a polished floor. Finally, Mr de Lay


points to one extra point in favour of the Clitheroe Centre in particular. “Although there are 11 exhaust centres in Black­ burn, and Burnley, this is the only one in Clitheroe. With the price of petrol


as high as it is, travelling distance is a factor which weighs heavily today. “Clitheroe people will


save a 20-mile round trip by visiting their own Exhaust Centre. Even if they do not mind ope trip to Blackburn for their exhaust they certainly won’t relish a second if there is anything wrong with their system after it has been fitted." So nearness to home is without doubt a fourth


advantage held by the Cl i t h e r o e Exha us t Centre — in addition to th e afor ement ioned price, speed, and stock. In addition to full-day


opening for six days a week,


the Glitheroe


Exhaust Centre is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays — thus catering for the motorist who has not time to visit it during the week. Opening times from Monday to Saturday ;are 8-30 a.m. to 5-30 p.m.
