Motorsparks receives glowing testimonial from Trade Solutions Yeovil Ltd.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – there is no point in doing anything if what you do doesn’t add value to the customer you’re working for. That is why Motorsparks is extremely proud of the service we provide, level of expertise on offer and most importantly, the quality of work we deliver.

Motorsparks serves a number of businesses who often entrust their customers into our care. And so we couldn’t have been happier when we received this testimonial recently from a Adrian Vincent at Trading Solutions Yeovil Ltd.

Adrian writes:

“I can confirm that the engineer (Denny Roberts from Motorsparks) was a total breath of fresh air who should rightly be applauded for his work. During his investigation, he found that the units had been installed upside down so actually had little chance of receiving a decent / consistent signal, something I feel the original installer should be taken to task on!! Denny even came back on Sunday and saw my son with a view to correcting another unit on one of the vans which was not available the day before. The efficiency and knowledge of this man is admirable and he really is a nice man who i think deserves some RAM feedback also.”

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Adrian.

Beaminster auto-electrical specialist, Motorsparks, has audio know-how.

Beaminster-based business Motorsparks has been active in the auto-electrical industry for over 20 years.  So it goes without saying that we understand the art of getting a vehicle audio system installed, improved, repaired and enhanced – regardless of vehicle make, audio system brand and personal audio setting preferences.

We recently supplied and fitted a Kenwood DAB audio system into our customer’s Toyota RAV4  who was looking for a solution that would give her flexibility, security and independence, but more importantly – give her the tools she needed to stream music from a number of sources.  Using an Android-based smartphone, our customer travels to new locations quite extensively, and relies on up to date maps and navigation – but with an outdated SATNAV she decided to opt for a solution that would give her everything she needed and would minimise the number of gadgets stuck to her windscreen.

Our installation included the fitment of a high definition microphone that enables our customer to make an receive phone calls, as well as connectivity to her steering wheel controls that allows her to control all of this without removing her eyes from the road.

The audio system we recommended allows her to stream music via USB, bluetooth, FM and DAB while at the same time replicating her mobile phone onto the screen itself in order to use navigational tools – all via one single system.

“I’m absolutely over the moon with Motorsparks’ quality of work – their dedication to getting exactly the sound that I want, their professionalism and most of all their flexibility in working around my working hours and location. They are clearly experts at what they do – and I would highly recommend their services – especially when you are looking for someone who will respect your vehicle as much as you do” – Iris Calverley

If you are looking for a system that works for you – or, if you have a system that doesn’t work and you’re looking for help to get it fitted or working again – give us a ring.

We can help you source the best product – and deliver a great integrated audio experience.

 

Car Crash Britain and why you need a Dash Camera

 

 

If you were lucky enough to catch Car Crash Britain – Caught on Camera recently, you would have seen some real-life examples of everyday people doing some extraordinary things.

Typically – when one thinks about a dash camera in a vehicle, your thoughts immediately go to self-preserveration and protection. And for most of the time, that’s exactly the reason why many of us invest in a camera.

However, if you were watching he aforementioned program, you may have been as surprised as we were to notice how many situations there were where dash cameras were used as evidence as a 3rd party witness to a collision, hit and run and even road rage.

The reality is – we live in a society where the rate of individual vehicle owners is increasing at a rapid rate. With increased vehicle numbers inevitably comes increased traffic congestion – which ultimately leads to exhausted, frustrated drivers who do make mistakes.

If you haven’t yet considered the importance of a dash camera, then perhaps today is the day that you make that decision.

Motorsparks supplies and fits THINKWARE dash camera products. The wide range of camera solutions means that you can choose a solution that fits your need, and your wallet.

Speak to us today about how we can help you become secure and protected.

VIDEO: Too late, is too late. Why you need to consider a dash cam today.

There are only 2 predictable things in this life: death & taxes – or so someone once said.

So why take any chances if you’re someone who drives a car?

Whether you use your vehicle to pop down to the local butcher, or whether you commute an 80-mile round-trip – you simply cannot afford to take any chances when it comes to unpredictable behaviour from other drivers.

“It will never happen to me”

It may not. But it’s not always about you.

Here’s a little reason why it’s a good idea to consider in-vehicle monitoring systems.

And if you’re still not convinced, give us a call.

Sometimes a dash cam is about more than just security.

Sometimes owning a dash cam is more than just a piece of evidence, or some form of security.

We happened upon this little scene in Dorset – and were thankful we had something that we could share.
