The best Amazon Prime Day deals for motorists for 2023

Autocar selects the best deals on offer for Prime Day in 2023, and there are some cracking bargains

Amazon Prime Day returns on 11-12 July 2023, and as usual there are some major discounts to be had.

Autocar has had exclusive early-bird access to the deals, and they’re listed below, and we start with the deal on offer on the automotive-related products we recommend the most.

Below that, we take a look at the largest discounts on car-related products, with the largest percentage discounts at the top and work our way down. And then we’ll have a round-up of other products that might take your interest. Discounts listed are versus manufacturer recommended retail prices (RRPs), and remember to access these deals you have to be a member of Amazon Prime – however you can join Amazon Prime for a 30-day free trial here.

-*Pressure Washer: Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 - £119.99 – 43% off*-

We rate this machine as the best pressure washer you can buy – for two principle reasons. Firstly, it features an unbeatable balance of keen price, top-drawer cleaning performance, and essential accessories. And secondly, it’s just a brilliant design. For example, it comes fully assembled in a small box, with a hinged and foldable rear handle that makes it extremely compact. You can also swap between pencil jet, fan, and turbo nozzle with a twist of the wrist thanks to what Bosch calls the ‘Trio Nozzle’. And it’s even better value on Prime Day.

If the Aquatak 135 is out of your budget, maybe consider its little brother, the Aquatak 120, now available at £79.99, a 27% discount.

*I*
*f the Bosch isn’t for you, there’s great offers on rival products from Karcher this Prime Day – and one is quite a bit cheaper than the Bosch too.*

-*Battery Charger: NOCO Genius5UK - BEST BUY - £54.95 – 23% off*-

It's not quite as all-conquering as its Genius10 sibling, but this charger delivers exactly what most users will ever need at a more appealing price. Its top-spot position is all the more assured by that price undercutting its nearest rival, CTEK's CT5, by nearly a tenner. It's the all-in-one charging solution - battery charger, battery maintainer, trickle charger, battery conditioner, plus battery desulfator. Charges dead batteries as low as 1-volt. Just charge it up, and store it in your car’s boot as an easy way to banish flat-battery blues.

-*In-car vacuum cleaner: VacLife - £49.99 – 20% off*-

The VacLife feels solidly built, and the attachments – including a crevice nozzle and a brush head – fit securely and make it easy to get under your seats, or to hoover large areas of carpet or suede. There’s also an LED light to help you see into awkward corners, plus a slim ‘detail’ brush that’s great for cleaning out your air vents. It has a 20 minute running time. On top of that, the VacLife is one of the quietest of our budget vacuums, despite also being one of the more powerful. A great all-round compact vacuum, at a really great price, especially on Prime Day.

-In-car vacuum cleaner: Gtech Multi Mk2 - £131.99 – 22% off-

This is our most expensive option, so it’s no surprise that it is also the most powerful and would do a fine job of your house, as well as the car – particularly because it comes with a compact, rotary vacuum head that did the best job of removing dog fur from a carpet. It’s heavier than some rivals, but the variety of attachments still makes this very versatile, and it’s easy to manoeuvre one-handed. It’s the best cordless hoover here by some margin. It has a 20 minute running time.
