Lookers subsidiary Charles Hurst has launched a service scheme for older vehicles at its eight Nissan and Renault dealerships in Northern Ireland.

Club4 is free to join and is designed to tempt motorists with vehicles aged three years or more back into the dealer’s aftersales workshop by offering half-price retail labour rates and up to 25% discount on parts.

“We also give all our members on joining one year’s free roadside assistance, worth £49, and free MoT checks,” says franchise director Colin McNab.

The scheme also includes free six-monthly checks to spot any necessary work, and a price promise to beat any other Renault or Nissan dealer.

McNab says the scheme is possible thanks to group economies of scale in parts purchasing, which can be passed to the customer. Since launch at the beginning of the month, more than 60 customers have joined.
