Preston: Millward Autocare - 20% Military Discount


LOCAL DISCOUNT - 20% MILITARY DISCOUNT
MILLWARDS AUTOCARE
249-253 Tag Lane
Ingol
Preston
Lancashire
PR2 3TY
Tel: 07541 572 217
Message from Andrew Kirkham (Director)
Myself and my business partner Matthew have recently opened a local Garage which specialises in MOT, Diagnostics, Servicing and Repairs.
I come from a military background myself, so I understand the importance of ensuring that there are good reliable systems in place in times when dependants are deployed overseas or on exercise away from loved ones.
Vehicles are a critical part of all our lives and when they go wrong they can be a real hindrance.
We would like to support the Military community in a way which allows us to be a safe, reliable and effective service in those times of need, along with ensuring the long term safe maintenance of your vehicles.
We participate in the Defence Discount Service and Blue light service for 20% discount, with that, we will honour 20%, if your partner is within the MOD.
For further information about our company see links below:
