eBay partners Woburn Safari Park to offer car health checks for visitors

Automotive marketplace eBay has formed a partnership with Woburn Safari Park to provide free car health checks for visitors to the Bedfordshire attraction.

It is setting up a pop-up workshop at the safari park with a team of mechanics which will invite guests to drive in their car for a safety inspection to get advice on any potential issues that could be picked up during an annual MOT test.

While the checks are being done the guests will get to experience Woburn's road safari in cars provided by eBay.

Laura Richards, category lead, vehicle parts and accessories, eBay UK, said: “With over half (56%) of British motorists claiming they feel bored while they have their MOT test done, and with its well-known residents famous for their love of car parts and accessories, Woburn Safari Park provides the perfect location to keep our guests entertained.

"At the same time, we’ll be able to share our expertise to help them prepare and feel confident for their MOT test, potentially saving them money in the process too.” 

A spokesman added: "They will get to witness the amazing wildlife Woburn Safari Park has to offer, up to a windscreen's width away and safe in the knowledge that a cheeky monkey won't run off with their number plate," said a spokesman.

The pop-up workshop opens on Sunday, March 24.
