Picking up the keys to your new car and driving it off for the first time is one of the best feelings in the world – a feeling you want to prolong for as long as possible. Then, the worst thing happens… You suffer a little bump or scrape in your brand new car and need to take it to a body shop or contact your insurance provider to arrange repairs.
Both of which are fine, but they’re inconvenient, expensive and slow, and the new car bubble has been well-and-truly burst. In comes SMART Care. The security that you and your car need to keep it feeling new for longer.
