The Need For Speed

At the end of 2011 we took the plunge and invested in an in-house servicing and repair workshop at our headquarters in Worcestershire. Since we got the new facility fully up to speed in March we've been wishing we'd done it years ago.


By creating a fully functioning Great Escape Classic Car Hire workshop with ramp facilities we have been able to resolve simple and complicated repairs much faster. And lets face it, whatever we do and however much we spend, these old classic cars do like to breakdown occasionally. But now, when they decide to throw a wobbler, we can get them back on the road much faster. Which all means less inconvenience for our customers and overall a better customer experience.


Our new facility is managed by Tony Hunting, who has been working in classic car hire for several years. He still runs our Suffolk fleet at weekends but spends his week days in Worcestershire keeping our largest fleet on the road.


This week we've had some problems with our MGB V8 and normally trusty Jaguar E Type convertible. Thanks to our new workshop we managed to get these cars fixed and back on hire within a matter of hours, meaning that two customers had cars that otherwise we might have had to rearrange or switch to alternative cars.

Improving the reliability of our classic cars

Great Escape Classic Car Hire have set up a new workshop at our headquarters in Worcestershire to help us further improve the reliability of our classic car hire fleet.
We have invested several thousand pounds in the on-site facility, which is managed by an experienced classic car mechanic and features a state of the art ramp. Great Escape Classic Car Hire is now able to manage the maintenance, servicing and repair of its fleet of 50 cars using its own dedicated in-house resource. This speeds up the turnaround time on repairs and also means we can achieve higher standards of quality across our fleet.
Since we set up the new facility at the beginning of March we have been working on our white Morris Minor in the Cotswolds, which has needed significant chassis repairs, rebuilding our new Alfa Romeo Spider in the Cotswolds and undertaking service work across several other vehicles.
For customers the result will be a more reliable fleet with fewer breakdowns and higher standards of vehicles to enjoy.
