A PORSCHE garage has vowed to help keep emergency crews and NHS staff on the road during the coronavirus pandemic.

Thomas Atherton, 31, managing director of Weissach UK Limited in Byley, is offering all key workers a special deal.

"I’m offering 25 per cent discount to all emergency service staff and key workers to ensure their cars stay on the road in a healthy condition," said Thomas, from Davenham.

"We are a Porsche garage and usually don’t get involved in any other car make. However for us to sit and be brand snobs at a time in need wouldn’t be right."

The dad-of-two has relatives who were on call as part of their jobs. His uncle Paul Sullivan, now retired, was watch manager at Winsford Fire Station and aunt Helena Lunn still works at Cheshire Police and Fire HQ,

"I think of things from a different perspective growing up with families working in the emergency services," said Thomas.

"It is really important that emergency service workers have reliable cars in full working order."

His garage has accreditation for a Trading Standards backed garage repair scheme which requires meticulous scrutiny and regular audits.

"We are very proud to have this mark."said Thomas. "We have rigorous testing and keep everything to the highest quality standard.

"We will carry out free checks on brakes and tyres to give drivers peace of mind. We can offer a collection and deliver service to fit in with shift patterns of emergency and NHS workers."

Thomas and his mechanics sanitise all vehicles and follow social distancing guidelines.
