Delphi Aftermarket Operations has launched a new scheme to offer courtesy cars from as little as £5 a day.

The company, which also provides professional signage, marketing, training, logistics and technical support, says the programme will help overcome one of the key barriers for many independents.

Jog Lall, European retail network manager for Delphi Lockheed Automotive, said Delphi was considering a number of other service schemes designed specifically for specialist workshops.

“The courtesy car scheme is a tremendous opportunity for independent garages to offer a very attractive new customer service at an equally attractive margin,” he said.
