Experienced Vehicle Security Firm, Eydens, Advises Commercial Fleet Owners of Easy Ways to Monitor Running Costs
07/14/2025, Coventry Midlands // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Eydens Auto Locksmiths, a long-established specialist in vehicle security, has shared insights to help business owners and transport managers maintain continuous oversight over the costs of running their fleets, in light of sustained cost pressures that, in many cases, can be mitigated with strategic management. The company, which offers advanced vehicle trackers, immobilisers and security systems, alongside key replacement and emergency callout services, has noted a lack of awareness of the value and accuracy that tracking solutions offer. Cost Pressures Experienced By UK Companies With Commercial Fleets It is no secret that operational costs have risen for almost every business in every sector, with issues surrounding a higher minimum wage, steep increases in national insurance contributions, and general running costs, as utilities and water bills have soared over recent months. Businesses reliant on fleets of vehicles, including the millions that offer home or B2B delivery services, have seen further impacts, with some of the many challenges including: All these factors mean that fleet managers and transport supervisors are increasingly looking for ways to optimise efficiency, while simultaneously reducing exposure to serious risks such as vehicle thefts and break-ins to steal equipment, tools and components. Insights Into How Advanced GPS Trackers Mitigate Business Risks for Fleet Managers Vehicle trackers are a common feature within business fleets, not least because HGVs over 3.5 tonnes in the UK that are used commercially must be equipped with a tachograph. These now largely electronic systems track driving times and rest periods to ensure companies are complying with safe working regulations. While digital tachographs can transmit data to central databases and often integrate with live tracking data that shows fleet managers exactly where each driver is, they have limitations. Rob Eyden from Eydens says, ' Cutting-edge vehicle trackers and immobilisers are a gold standard way to ensure no vehicle, whether a company car or a fully loaded HGV, can be driven away without the driver present, using secure chips embedded into a card that prevent the engine from starting without the correct access permissions. They're also in sustained demand from fleet owners who are worried about reports of rising vehicle and tool thefts, and who rely on their fleets as an integral part of their business models. GPS trackers not only deter thieves and can pair with immobilisers but also mean in the rare instance of a successful theft, the police are significantly more likely to recover the vehicle, since you'll know exactly where it is.' Exploring the Usage of Fleet Tracking Systems to Monitor and Reduce Running Costs Rob goes onto add that, ' One of the often overlooked features of a next-gen solution, like the S7 Tracker, or the S5+ Imob Tracker, both insurance approved, is that the data they transmit relates to far more than where a vehicle is, how long it has been stationary, or how close the driver is to their next drop. They can gather intelligence about: All this information is incredibly valuable, whether deciding which vehicles should manage which routes, providing additional training for drivers who spend excessive time idling, or proactively monitoring fuel usage to ensure servicing and maintenance is carried out in a timely manner.' Eydens Auto Locksmiths provides access to the vehicle tracking systems mentioned here alongside a broader range of devices, immobilisers, GPS systems and security solutions, with mobile and on-site services available throughout Coventry and the wider West Midlands area. Fleet managers and business owners interested in learning more about fleet monitoring, the specific devices highlighted above, or the most appropriate systems for their requirements are welcome to contact the company directly for more personalised guidance.

How Save On Auto Glass Is Changing the Auto Glass Game in Michigan
07/12/2025, New York City, New York // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Michigan drivers face uniquely challenging road conditions year-round. From punishing winters with snow, ice, and salt to the constant barrage of road debris and potholes on highways like I-75, windshield damage is almost inevitable. According to the National Windshield Repair Association, over 6 million windshield repairs occur annually in the U.S., with a significant percentage happening in states with harsh climates like Michigan. Despite this demand, many drivers still encounter long wait times, unclear pricing, and inconsistent service quality when seeking auto glass repair or replacement. Save On Auto Glass, a Michigan-based company, has emerged as a game-changer by redefining what quality auto glass service means. Unlike nationwide chains, this company takes a localized, customer-focused approach that blends affordability, exceptional craftsmanship, and an innovative mobile service model. Their commitment has earned them a reputation as one of Michigan's most trusted auto glass providers — setting a new standard in the Midwest. Prioritizing Convenience: Mobile Service with No Extra Fees According to a 2023 survey by AAA, nearly 70% of drivers prefer on-site vehicle repairs, valuing convenience as much as cost. Michigan residents, particularly, struggle to find time for repairs amidst demanding work schedules and harsh winters. Recognizing this, Save On Auto Glass pioneered a mobile windshield repair and replacement service at no additional cost. Whether at home, the office, or even the gym parking lot, technicians arrive equipped to complete the job on-site — eliminating the need for tow trucks, lengthy wait times, or scheduling headaches. This mobile model is particularly vital in Michigan, where road salt and cold weather contribute to over 40% more windshield damage than the national average, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). By removing logistical barriers, Save On Auto Glass helps drivers address damage promptly, reducing risks and repair costs. Emphasizing OEM-Quality and ADAS Compatibility Modern vehicles come equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — technologies like lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. These rely on cameras and sensors typically mounted on or near the windshield. A poorly installed windshield can disrupt these systems, compromising safety. Save On Auto Glass sets itself apart by exclusively using OEM-grade glass and providing expert ADAS recalibration services post-installation. Industry data shows that up to 40% of vehicles with improperly recalibrated ADAS systems experience malfunctioning safety features — a risk Save On Auto Glass mitigates through precise, factory-standard procedures. For Michigan drivers who depend on their vehicles for daily commuting in challenging weather, this commitment is not optional — it's essential for safety. Transparent Pricing and Lifetime Warranty Price transparency remains a top driver concern. A 2022 consumer report found that 35% of auto repair customers have experienced unexpected charges or hidden fees. Save On Auto Glass combats this by offering clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Every customer receives a detailed estimate, an explanation of insurance applicability, and guidance through the claims process. Most notably, every windshield replacement comes with a lifetime warranty covering both materials and workmanship — a rare and valuable guarantee in the industry. Given Michigan's climate, which contributes to frequent glass damage from rapid temperature changes and road salt corrosion, this warranty offers significant peace of mind and potential cost savings. Local Expertise Meets Professional Scale Unlike national chains that apply generic solutions, Save On Auto Glass leverages deep local knowledge. Their technicians understand Michigan-specific windshield issues like seasonal expansion cracks and ice-related stress fractures. Additionally, they're well-versed in the nuances of Michigan's no-fault insurance laws, helping customers navigate claims efficiently. This local expertise, combined with professional-grade resources and expanded technician teams, provides customers with the best of both worlds — personalized service with enterprise-level reliability. Fast Turnaround, Even in Peak Season Winter marks peak demand for windshield services in Michigan. According to the Glass Association of North America, the months between November and February see a 50-70% increase in windshield repair requests. Save On Auto Glass meets this surge head-on by expanding their fleet and optimizing scheduling. Most repairs and replacements are completed same-day or next-day, a critical advantage for busy Detroit-area drivers who can't afford vehicle downtime during the harshest months. Supporting Safe, Legal Driving Driving with a cracked or chipped windshield is not just unsafe—it may be illegal. While Michigan doesn't specify exact crack size laws, police can issue citations if damage obstructs a driver's view. Moreover, existing windshield damage can complicate insurance claims following an accident. Prompt windshield repair or replacement is therefore essential both for safety and legal compliance. Save On Auto Glass offers free damage assessments and honest recommendations, helping drivers avoid unnecessary fines or liability. A Seamless Insurance Experience Insurance claims often overwhelm drivers with paperwork and delays. Save On Auto Glass directly partners with all major insurance carriers, streamlining claims and helping customers access maximum benefits with minimal hassle. Many policies cover windshield repair or replacement with little to no deductible, making it financially sensible to act quickly. Save On Auto Glass also advises when a full $99 windshield replacement is warranted, ensuring customers never pay more than necessary. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: How do I know if I need a repair or a full windshield replacement? If the crack or chip is smaller than 6 inches and away from the driver's direct line of sight, repair is often possible. Larger or edge-to-edge damage usually requires replacement. Q2: Does my insurance cover windshield repairs? Many comprehensive insurance policies cover windshield damage, often without a deductible. Verify your coverage with your insurer or ask your auto glass provider for help. Q3: How long does mobile windshield replacement take? Most mobile replacements are completed within an hour, although ADAS recalibration may add extra time. Q4: Is mobile service truly free? Yes, mobile service is offered at no extra cost in most Metro Detroit and surrounding areas. Q5: What if the replacement windshield develops issues later? Save On Auto Glass provides a lifetime warranty on workmanship and materials to address any concerns promptly. Q6: Can a cracked windshield affect my car's safety systems? Absolutely. Improper installation or missed ADAS recalibration can impair critical safety features such as lane assist or automatic braking. Conclusion: In an industry often marred by rushed repairs and hidden fees, Save On Auto Glass proves that integrity, innovation, and local expertise can thrive together. By offering mobile service, OEM-quality materials, transparent pricing, and safety-first installations, they're elevating what Michigan drivers should expect from auto glass care. Whether faced with a minor chip or needing a complete replacement, Save On Auto Glass is making the process faster, safer, and more convenient—without hidden costs or fine print. For Michigan drivers demanding more from their auto glass service, Save On Auto Glass isn't just an option. It's the industry upgrade that's long overdue.
