PORTADOWN based motoring service website MyCarNeedsA.Com has announced a new partnership with Autoglass parent company Belron Group.

The company provides an online tool that allows consumers to compare the cost of repairs across a network of local garages.

The new tie-up brings glass services into the mix.

MyCarNeedsA.com CEO Scott Hamilton said Chris Eldridge, general manager of Belron’s Autorestore will join the board.

"We have worked really hard over the past 18 months to assess and sign up high quality service providers across GB and Northern Ireland. These are continually reviewed by us and rated by our customers, so they are all under the spotlight, which is great for our users," he said.

“The motoring service industry is really starting to sit up and take notice of our business now and see the commercial opportunities it presents to them. We are really delighted to be able to extend our network of service providers in a big way, by having the global strength and specialist expertise of Belron not only as part of our network, but also joining us with a representative on the company board.”

Belron regional general manager Nigel Doggett added: "“This partnership means we will become a key service provider on MyCarNeedsA.com for accident damage and glass repair and replacement. It will also allow us to help solve our customers’ problems in a different way in today’s ever changing digital landscape.

“MyCarNeedsA.com differentiates itself in the price comparison market through its focus on quality and customer service. This has resulted in many customers choosing a service provider based on factors they value more than just the lowest price, such as convenience and overall service levels. This fits extremely well with our own core values of service and quality.”
