Seams slightly spammy to  sign up and your first post be about a company.  Perhaps one to avoid op. 

OP joined 18 October at 1:05PM and was 'last active' 18 October at 1:13PM asking a question about local garage door suppliers in York.  Hasn't been back since, as of 8 November.

First reply is from a poster who joined 18 October at 1:14PM to heap praise on a "fantastic local company" in York.

Coincidence?

And that in itself would be a big enough reason for me not to use Clic Garage Doors of York.

Plus it can be more expensive to insure a car that is garaged at night rather than left on drive.

Really? What is the thought process on that?

I can only assume drivers damaging their cars entering and leaving garage is a bigger risk than leaving on the drive, may be postcode dependant.

Usually it comes down to analysis of vast amounts of claims data...

It could be something indirectly connected, like people who have a garage and still use it to park their car in might tend to be older people whose eyesight/reactions/coordination isn't as good as younger (garageless) people - hence statistically the garage users (as a group) are more likely to make claims.

Car insurance pricing is driven by what the data says, not by logical analysis of what you actually do with your car.

It might still do... it all depends on all the other factors the insurer is taking into account in their model.

Perhaps drivers with red cars who park them in a garage have fewer accidents than red car owning non-garage users do.

The only way of finding out is to get different quotes using the different options - but that should be done with caution as it can appear to be suspicious behaviour.

What I have noticed around us is a trend towards roller doors when people do replace.

They look good in most cases.

These days with cordless power tools making an opening in a door is pretty easy.

I recently installed a SWS SECEUROGLIDE. Not the cheapest but I did a lot of research including into security, and with choice of colours it blends in well.

It replaced a manual up-and-over door and I wish I'd forked out the money years ago and had all those extra years of benefit.

By the way, different installers will quote different prices for the self-same SWS door, so shop around!
