Expect the unexpected?... ....or remove the unexpected.

If your business has purchased its vehicles through traditional Hire Purchase or cash acquisition routes, no maintenance option will have been available and the variable cost intake for your company is an unwanted hassle.

Manufacturers warranties maintained

The new BERR exemption will increase competition in the domestic and continental car market, including car servicing and repairs, which will give consumers more choice and better value for money.

Benefit from fixed cost at reduced rates rather than ad hoc costs at retail price.

Fixed budgeting wins out every time over variable costs. And, in these inflationary times, you know those variable costs are only going to spiral upwards. What's more you can add SMR Evolution fixed price agreements to any new or used vehicle up to 24 months old and 40,000 miles.

Helping to make cost forecasting as simple as possible.

Tighter cost control - for lease customers too

If you lease your vehicles, you can now opt out of their maintenance package and get a more cost-effective service through Corts & SMR Evolution.

Utilising different finance or lease providers with SMR Evolution maintenance means your business gets the best value for money, while ensuring flexibility and consistency. And you can take advantage of our outsourced vehicle and driver management that achieves the very highest levels of professional service.

Reduced administration

Without the additional expense of a dedicated fleet administrator, the burden of administering vehicles usually falls on senior managers whose time could be more profitably spent on other business areas. Most managers do not have a high level of vehicle technical expertise, which can result in overcharging or unnecessary work being carried out.

SMR Evolution agreements are professionally managed, verifying all work requests and offering a host of ancillary services to meet the most demanding business needs.

Your Duty of Care obligations are covered

New legislation requires business owners to ensure that any vehicle being used for company business - regardless of whether it is owned by the company or not - is insured and tested to MOT standards. Companies must also provide an audit trail and ensure vehicles undergo routine servicing, maintenance and repairs.

SMR Evolution is the simplest way for you to meet these obligations as all vehicles are maintained in line with the manufacturer's recommendations. Plus we keep you updated on all new legislative demands.

Manufacturer's warranties maintained

In 2003, EU 'Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002' (BERR) changed the way vehicles could be serviced and repaired. To encourage fair competition and provide greater freedom of choice to the motorist, the "BERR" ruling allows the motorist a choice of any garage to service and repair their vehicle without invalidating the manufacturer's warranty.

All SMR Evolution network repairers meet the requirements of "BERR" and adhere to the criteria required ensuring your vehicle warranty is maintained.

Comprehensive national network cover

Each SMR Evolution dealer and repair garage has been rigorously vetted to ensure you receive exceptional quality service. We assign the local SMR Evolution dealer/repairer that's most appropriate for each vehicle in your fleet.

Furthermore, when that vehicle's out on the road, whether it be for business or leisure purposes, any one of our nationwide SMR Evolution centres is authorised to provide emergency cover without any additional cost to your company.

As flexible as you want it to be

SMR Evolution fixed priced agreements are based on a mileage allowance over a flexible term.You pay a pre-agreed monthly amount and when authorised work is required, a visit to your nominated "home" SMR Evolution centre takes care of everything. SMR Evolution then reimburse the dealer for the cost of the repairs*.

SMR Evolution has a package to suit your business needs, covering everything from tyres to full care contracts, including servicing, repairs, maintenance and RAC breakdown cover, and more.
