Used forklifts offer great value

The problem with buying any kind of new vehicle is the depreciation. Drive it off the forecourt and straight away it’s worth less than the price paid for it. And this applies not just to cars, but too commercial vehicles as well. With the current economic climate not looking so great, more and more companies are starting to question whether it is worth paying out for brand new trucks and vehicles, especially when there are reliable, fully serviced used models to choose from. These used trucks can be just as good, but without the premium price tag.

Independents offer great value car servicing

Local businesses don’t always get the support they deserve. Take garages for example. Every town and suburb has a great independent garage that too often gets overlooked by customers who head down to the franchised dealership instead. Which is slightly puzzling because the motorists who do this end up paying too much for their car servicing. These dealerships charge a premium for this kind of work that isn’t really justified. Especially when the same work can be carried out to the same standard for a much better price by the friendly team just down the road.

Support local garages and save money

The cost of everything is shooting up right now. Inflation is running high and it’s the cost of everyday items that’s hitting consumers hard in the pocket. The cost of keeping a car on the road is leaving many motorists frustrated and angry. People need their cars for work and to get the kids to school. For any ordinary family having a car is necessity not a luxury. Petrol prices are high, insurance premiums are going up and then there’s the servicing.

Scooters have had a makeover

The excitement of skating in all its different forms is hard to resist. It’s fun, fast and spectacular, but what about little ones. Surely skating is just a bit too advanced for them. Well not necessarily. Scooters are a great way for them to get started. They help improve balance and coordination during the early years of a child’s development. Then once a child has mastered a scooter they can move on to ice skates, skateboards, roller blades or whatever takes their fancy. It could be the start of a lifetime love affair with skating.

Scooters are great for kids

Skating takes many different forms. Some people like to hit the ice down at their local rink, others like to get the roller blades out and get down to the local park on a nice sunny day. Others enjoy the thrill of skateboarding. A new generation of skate parks has sprung up and kids and adults alike try new moves and tricks on the ramps and the halfpipes.

Now for most little ones this is all a bit too advanced. They don’t have the coordination or the confidence just yet to tackle this kind of skating. But there is perfect solution for them as they find their feet – the scooter. Scooters are in fashion again. They’ve had a revamp and a makeover and kids are getting into extreme scootering in a big way. They are easier to get to grips with and much safer, making them ideal for children.

Skates have set up their very own dedicated scooter shop, so parents can find scooters and helmets at great prices and all in one place. As part of their overall skate shop, customers can find the same great deals on scooters as they can on everything else. Kids can be fussy. They want their scooters to be exactly right, with the right colours and designs. Just like the ones their friends have.

The Skates scooter shop has the biggest choice of any store in the UK, so finding the right scooter just isn’t a problem. The prices are competitive and for anyone who doesn’t live near a store, there’s an online shop for added convenience. Customers can order with a credit or debit card and have their goods and items delivered direct to their door. Either way, getting kids started with their first scooter is easy, not to mention great value too.

At last better deals for ice skaters

There are ice rinks in towns all over the country and they draw in all sorts of different people. Some people just like to skate for fun with their friends. Other people are a bit more serious and want to get to grips with figure skating, one of the most graceful of all sports. Then there is the rough and tumble of ice hockey which understandably draws in a very crowd. What unites these different groups though is the need for decent ice skates shop. As interest and commitment in these sports and pastimes grows, hiring skates and equipment quickly becomes impractical. People want their own skates and gear if they are serious about improving and getting better.

A store that caters for every skating tribe

Skating is a broad church. There’s the ice skating crowd. This includes ice hockey players, figure skaters and speed skaters all getting their kicks down at the local rink. Then there’s roller skating crew. Racing and pulling stunts and tricks down at the park or in other urban settings. Who could forget skateboarders with their spectacular aerial tricks at the skate park? Even scooters have gone extreme and they are massively popular with kids.
