MotoringWire:National Breakdown. Would you buy a flood damaged vehicle?

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 08:34:00 EST

After launching International Breakdown in 1999, the company has gone from strength to strength offering breakdown solutions for individuals, traders and business. After changes in the market recent research has identified areas for development within the Company which have resulted in an exciting new brand launch with enhanced benefits to current and potential customers. Managing Director Ian Roper comments, 'We strive to ensure that we can offer a quality service at a competitive rate but we didn't feel that this was clearly disseminated through our website. Our customers were telling us that clear information about the service we offered wasn't readily available so hopefully we have remedied this through the new website.'
