VAUXHALL believes it will soon hit its target of 400 operational MasterFit centres throughout the UK.

The number presently stands at 387, with a few more to come on stream in 2005.

Brand manager Neil Hunt said: ‘Our response to the new aftermarket challenges brought about through changes to block exemption is to build an instantly recognisable service brand that can compete on equal terms with other major fast-fit networks across the UK.’
