Don’t buy, by PETER COLEMAN, DIRECTOR, CVS


After Before


uying a new car is the second biggest financial commitment that most Islanders will make after saving for years to buy a home. Luckily, you don’t have to buy a new car every year or even every ten or twenty years. Of course, you have to keep your vehicle in good running order whatever the age, so there is an expense there, but these days you don’t have to worry about changing your car because you are embarrassed by how it looks as it gets older. You can make a fifteen year old vehicle, or an even older one, look almost brand new if you want.


B Before After


Luckily, modern car restorers CVS, can make your old, but much-loved vehicle look almost like it has just come out of the motor dealer’s showroom. After all, why pay out tens of thousands of pounds for a new car, if your existing one is reliable and still suits you?


Of course, you could sell your old banger for a couple of thousand pounds in part exchange for another vehicle, but the devil you know is often better than the devil you don’t. Neither you nor the motor dealer can fully guarantee reliability of the nearly- new vehicle which you will have to commit to spending about £25,000, or more, to buy.

If you have a reliable vehicle already, why go to the trouble and expense of getting a new or almost-new one? A few dents and shoddy leather should not hamper your choices, as spending a modest sum on refurbishment with CVS will turn your old car back into the beautiful machine you fell in love with a decade or two ago. Not only do you save thousands of pounds, but you also preserve those memories and perhaps put off the need to scrap the car.


CVS technicians at their workshop in Rouge Bouillon have performed many successful refurbishments on a lot of different vehicles. They can repair the damaged bumpers, wings and doors and then give the rest of the paintwork a full paintwork correction to remove light scratches and faded paintwork and make it all look like new.


They are also experts in leather restoration so that the all- important upholstery,

which can make all the difference to the look of the car, can be returned to its former glory or close enough so that few people will notice.


As proof, CVS


can show you pictures of 20-year- old cars which they have worked on and ironed out a considerable number of knocks and scrapes accumulated over the years. Top that up with a thorough general valeting including a hot interior shampoo and the car will be ready to be seen in public again. CVS’s range of paintwork correction techniques include light scratch and swirl removal, and they can apply waxing and specialised paintwork coatings to any surfaces. Convertible hood steam cleaning and scotchguarding to leather steam cleaning and even the repair and re-colouring of damaged leather can put the finishing touches to the rejuvenation of your favourite motor. Then you can sit back and calculate how much money you have saved by not buying another car.
