Independent Garage Association (IGA) has revealed UK garages are turning to them for guidance on how to reduce costs and manage their suppliers, due to business costs being on the rise.
Frank Harvey, Head of Member Services for the IGA, explained: “With the cost of living and business overheads at an all-time high, getting the best price for outgoing bills is imperative. UK Garages are relying on the best rates, guidance and offers to help control their costs.”
The Office for National Statistics stated last year ‘41% of businesses reported an increase in the prices of goods and services bought in Dec 2022 compared with Nov 2022’.
Frank continued: “IGA members can drive down costs by utilising IGA’s bespoke Invoice Checker service, in association with Spiral Utilities. This is just one of the benefits of being part of the IGA member community. Our members can ensure that they aren’t getting caught on ‘roll over’ or expensive utility contracts.”
IGA’s Invoice Checker service is designed to help garages minimise the time and the cost for these essential utilities by searching out the best deals in the market, and handling all aspects of the renewal process, with no charge to the member.
IGA members have access to a host of member benefits, along with exclusive offers from automotive industry businesses, all with the aim to ensure UK independent garages are supported in all areas of operating their business.
