► The best deals in automotive
► The biggest discounts
► And the things you might actually need
It’s that time of the year again. Amazon Prime Day 2024 is upon us, and just like last year it’s full of mega deals on everything from electric toothbrushes (are they ever full price?) to the latest smart tech from brands such as Amazon and Apple.
However, there are some great deals on automotive bits and pieces too; some you might need right now, and some worth picking up just in case. With that in mind, we’ve sifted through all of the Amazon Prime Day deals, and picked the ones we think will appeal most to petrolheads.
On this page you’ll find a list of products with the biggest discounts.
1. Vax SpotWash Home Duo Spot Cleaner (40% off)
This Vax Spot Cleaner has a massive 40% off, and could be a powerful tool for cleaning your car. It’s small, portable but effective thanks to HeatWave technology and a dedicated tool for removing tougher stains.
Aside from the price (which includes two sample bottles of shampoo) its size is its biggest advantage: it’s small enough to carry around and can hold 1.4-litres of dirt and 1.1- of water, but its 4.6-metre long cord means it’ll reach every nook and cranny with ease.
2. MuttStuff & Co Dog Car Boot Liner Protector Cover (64% off)
Every dog owner will know the process of trying and failing to protect the car boot – but this dog matt could make things a bit different. It’s just £8, and folds out to cover the boot as well as the back seats if needed. There are special straps to hold it in place, and you’ll also find pouches too – ideal for carrying other pet paraphernalia such as a lead, water bowl and toys.
It’s cheap and compact enough to easily improve things for dog owners.
3. Endoscope Inspection Camera (51% off)
If you’re anything like us, you probably enjoy tinkering and fixing your car yourself – so you could probably benefit from this endoscope. Simply put, this tool makes it easy to look at and diagnose issues in hard to see and hard to reach places – whether it’s an engine bay or the underside of your car.
Once it’s attached to your phone, you can see inspect via the camera – and there’s also six LED lights to keep things illuminated. Today it’s also just £16.23, representing at 51% saving.
4. Allen Sports Deluxe 3 Tailgate Bike Carrier (64% off)
Summer is allegedly here, and that means you could probably do with a bike rack if you’ve not got one already. Discounted by 64% due to Prime Day, this one comes with one of the biggest savings we’ve seen so far – and a range of decent features.
Suitable for most cars (check the link for details) it’s quick and easy to install, weighs just four kilograms and has space for three bicycles. It’s also got a padded lower frame to protect your bikes’ and car’s bodywork.
5. Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones (49% off)
Covering the car industry often involves a good amount of flying, and that means CAR journalists are well placed when it comes to travelling hacks; these Sony WH-1000XM4 are up there as one of the most powerful hacks around. The best news? Today they’ve been reduced by 49% to £179.99.
The WH-1000XM4s offer great bass, mid-range punch and sparking highs – but their noise cancelling capabilities have to be heard to be believed. Simply put, these Sony’s are life-saver on flights as they do a great job of cutting out most of the usual din. They work well on the ground too, though; we find ourselves reaching for them at the gym, the train and often the office too…
We know they’re not totally automotive, but they’re worth a mention.
6. Logitech G G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel (49% off)
This Logitech might not have the same level of realism or detail as the ridiculous £2300 Sim-Lab Mercedes F1 wheel we reported on earlier today, but it’s a great place to start for any budding sim-racer.
This wheel and pedal set is popular among sim-racers and rightly so; even at full price it offers precise controls with an strong level of force-feedback for added realism.
At full price it’s impressive, but with 49% off thanks to Prime Day, it’s a steal.
7. Karcher K 2 Pressure washer (33% off)
The K 2 is one of the most popular pressure washers around, and it’s easy to see why. It’s not too big, but packs in 110 bars of pressure for a quick and efficient clean – whether it’s for the garden or a car or motorbike.
It’s versatile too, the model here comes with a high-pressure gun, Vario Power spray lance and dirt blaster. Karcher’s quick connect system means they’re easy to swap over too. Size is another advantage it has over the competition, partly down to its telescopic handle and tiny footprint.
8. Ironstripe Faraday Box (31% off)
A Faraday box might not be the most exciting gadget in this list, but it could be one that saves you the most money in the long run. Simply put, alongside a traditional crook lock, a Faraday cage is one of the easiest ways to help prevent car theft.
This one has room for multiple keys, is relatively easy on the eyes – and at under £22, it’s ironically a steal…
