Coventry-based CMAK Ltd – maker of the European Taxi – has gone into liquidation, leaving numerous suppliers chasing unpaid bills.
Given the company’s poor sales, relatively few drivers will be affected by the news. Nonetheless the failure of the company will be a worry for any drivers who do own a European.
On a brighter note, leading taxi supplier Cab Direct have stepped in to help European drivers affected by the liquidation of CMAK Ltd, by offering ongoing service and support for their vehicle.
“As the UK’s first Peugeot authorised service, parts and warranty specialist dealer we are well placed to offer expert assistance to any Peugeot owner,” said Cab Direct Managing Director, Gavin Gillies.
“We also carry more than £500,000 worth of stock in our busy parts department,” added Gillies. “Even Peugeot dealers around the country regularly draw on our specialist taxi parts stock.
“With seven-day service and parts back-up, including nationwide next-day delivery, this service could prove very valuable for European owners, should they run into trouble.”
Gillies is also offering all European owners free access to the Cab Direct technical helpdesk, which is normally reserved for the company’s own customers.
“The taxi business is our business,” adds Gillies, “so we’re more than happy to help out any drivers who might otherwise face difficulties arising from the demise of CMAK Ltd and the European Taxi.”
