🚨 YES… WE ARE OPEN! 🚨
After nearly 50 years in business, it takes more than a stubborn shutter and a morning without electricity to stop us! 😂💪

It’s been one of those days at Save And Drive…

⏰ 8:10am: Tried to open the security shutter.
⚡ Shutter decided it had other plans and tripped the electrics to the shop.
🌑 Two hours later… power finally restored!
🙈 And now the shutter has decided it quite likes being stuck halfway up!

So if you’re passing and wondering what on earth is going on…

👉 YES, WE ARE OPEN AS NORMAL! 👈

The good news is the troublesome shutter is being replaced on Wednesday, so please bear with us until then.

As D once said…

🎵 THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER! 🎵

Although preferably after we’ve had a cup of tea. ☕🤣

Thanks for bearing with us!
