EDIT: Sorry guys, the deals' off. Apparently this is a limited offer which was sent to a number of previous subscribers. Auto Express seem to be automatically rejecting subscriptions and asking you to call them. I suspect if you call you will only get the deal if you received the original email.

EXPIRED

Auto Express is regularly (always?) 6 issues for £1 but the freebies change. Free Meguiars kit (RRP £19.99, currently £17.52 on Amazon - contains shampoo, liquid wax and an applicator pad) seemed worth it for £1 (I don't think I've ever bought car shampoo 'cos Auto Express are always giving it away).

In my experience Auto Express subs are very easy to stop; just cancel the Direct Debit once they've taken £1 from your account (some publishers keep sending the mag and demand payment when you do this, but I've never had a problem with Auto Express/Dennis Publishing).

Occasionally there's even something worth reading in the mag!

    sadly in our office we have restricted internet access first we knew of … sadly in our office we have restricted internet access first we knew of it being on hotdeals was when a email went around the office telling us that the code had been leaked and that all orders had been cancelled and not to process more



    Hi Dan,

    sorry if Auto Express feel I've 'leaked' their code - as far as I was aware I was just sharing a deal. There was no suggestion in the email or the landing page that this was a very limited offer for a select few customers (and that I was one of them), perhaps you could reword your offers in future?

    I find the attitude of retailers to HUKD interesting. Some are so desperate to get listed here for the publicity that they have a link on every page of their website. Others are convinced we're trying to bankrupt their business by sharing deals - we're not, we're just trying to let others benefit from deals we've found (I realise there are exceptions to this where posts are for obvious misprices or deals for 'brand new customers only').

    As to those complaining about Auto Express's customer service, I think that's very unfair. You haven't been charged anything and we all knew there could only be so many of these kits, when I saw the temperature the deal got to I wasn't at all surprised to find my subscription cancelled. In fact I'd rate Auto Express/Dennis Publishing's customer service as better than any other mag subscription I've ever dealt with (you try cancelling one of those partworks magazines when your kids have lost interest - they deliberately send a package with 4 in it and then acknowledge your cancellation!)

    Any tips for applying this sort of wax? I've had similar in the past, but … Any tips for applying this sort of wax? I've had similar in the past, but EVERY time I do it, it just smears and leaves swirls.. I guess I'm using too muxh wax?HEAT for the deal - thanks OP.



    Less is more!
    make sure you polish prior to waxing if its not been done in a while!
    You only need to use a very small amount of wax on the paintwork just enough so there is a light haze over the paint..then using a clean microfibre cloth the wax residue should wipe cleanly off.
    the swirls come from using a bucket and sponge!! Invest in a lambswool washmit or doodle mit and that will help reduce swirls.. also google the 2 bucket method!

    Congratulations to those of you who got emails confirming the deal. Auto Express have obviously decided to punish me for 'leaking' their code - I called after receiving the "we can't process your order..." email and was told they'd call me back once they had investigated. That was 3 days ago.

    Yes, I've signed up many times and always just cancel the Direct Debit after they've taken the first £1. I once had two simultaneous 6 issues for £1 offer (I had a couple of issues to go and they were offering another freebie that was worth more than £1 to me).

    all seems a bit too good to be true, every single product comes with gifts far greater than their £1 value?

    i've gone for it anyway as previous deals with these guys seems to have been ok. Not fussed about the kit, happy with 6 mags for a £1 tbh.

    They can afford to do it because so many people either forget to cancel the DD, can't be bothered, like the magazine, feel guilty... or a whole range of other reasons. They're not stupid, and they know that it makes good business sense.

    I've signed up to Dennis publishing deals before, and they are fantastic. Easy to cancel as well. I had a phone off them for a three month Empire Magazine subscription the other day, again for a £1!! Of couse I said "How dare you phone me up, and try to persuade me to pay a whole pound!"........:p

    Hot! Hot! Hot!
