Running a fleet means vehicles off the road cost you time, money, and customer confidence. That’s where Carbody (Banbury) Ltd and 14 Automotive step in. Our Fleet Management Service is designed to prevent downtime, catch issues early, and make sure your vehicles are always ready for the next job.
Here’s exactly what we provide for fleet operators:
- Dedicated Fleet Health Checks: Every vehicle in your fleet receives a full multi-point inspection free of charge, identifying wear and tear before it becomes costly downtime.
- Tyre Health Monitoring: We check tread depth, tyre pressures, and tyre condition regularly to extend tyre life and reduce unexpected blowouts or replacements.
- Quarterly Wheel Alignment Service: Prevents uneven tyre wear, improves fuel economy, and keeps your drivers safer on the road.
- Convenient Location: Our bodyshop and wheel & tyres service centres are side by side, with plenty of dedicated parking, customer reception, and a VIP waiting room. Our fleet clients know they’re always welcome to drop in for advice, vehicle updates, or just a proper cup of coffee.
- Single Point of Contact: No call centres or chasing multiple suppliers. You deal directly with our fleet manager, who knows your vehicles, your drivers, and your business needs.
- Priority Booking: We know fleet vehicles can’t sit around waiting. Our fleet partners get priority slots to minimise disruption and speed up repairs.
- Full-Service Offering: Body repairs, accident management, alloy wheels, alignment, straightening, tyres, specialist tyres, air con recharge, and more, all under two roofs, from a trusted, local partner.

Let’s talk about your fleet
If you’d like to learn more about how we can help reduce downtime, simplify fleet maintenance and protect your vehicles, contact our Operations Manager, Shane Fleming, today.
The evening was a fantastic mix of fundraising, food, and fun. Over 300 people came together for the black tie, 1920s-themed event, with live music, dancing, and a few lively games of Heads or Tails to raise additional funds for the club’s youth and senior teams.
For us, it’s about more than just one night. Grassroots sport plays a vital role in supporting physical health, mental wellbeing, and community spirit across all ages. Through our ongoing sponsorship and by supplying the club’s community van, we’re pleased to do our small part in helping the club continue to grow and thrive.
Supporting local sport and local businesses is part of our wider commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Banbury Rugby Club into the 2025-26 season and beyond.
Banbury RUFC’s Director of Rugby, Matt Goode, expressed his appreciation:
“This sponsorship is a game-changer for our community outreach. Having a dedicated vehicle allows us to bring the sport to more young players, schools, and groups, ensuring that rugby remains at the heart of Banbury. We’re incredibly grateful to 14 Automotive and Carbody (Banbury) Ltd for their support—it’s partnerships like these that make a real difference.”
