Saving on your Carly order
A voucher code usually applies to the scanner or app offer in your basket on mycarly.com. You enter it in the promo code or discount code box at checkout and should see the price fall before you pay. If a code is refused, the usual reasons are an expired code, a minimum spend that has not been reached or an item excluded from the offer. As the pages read do not list delivery costs or payment methods, check the final total at checkout.
If you are looking after your car in other ways too, save-up.co.uk lists further Cars & Motoring shops with voucher codes, such as mytyres Voucher Codes, MotorEasy Car Warranty Discount Codes, The Green Spark Plug Company Voucher Code and Airport Parking With Us Promo Code.
Born from a repair bill that seemed too high
Carly's story starts in a repair shop. When one of the founders had problems with his car, the shop estimated repairs at nearly USD 8,000, more than the car was worth. By reading the car's error data themselves, the founders found that the real issue was an $80 part that only needed replacing. From this, they set out to build a reliable companion for drivers that delivers data and insights and helps them save time and money. Today the company is operated by Carly Solutions GmbH & Co KG in Oberhaching, and support answers by email at interaktion@mycarly.com.
