Servicing 

A thorough service typically involves checking key components like the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension. It also includes replacing worn-out fluids and filters to maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear. Regular servicing can help extend your vehicle's lifespan and reduce emissions, all while maintaining its safety and reliability. 

MOT & Repairs 

The MOT is a mandatory inspection that all vehicles in the UK must undergo every year after they are three years old. The MOT checks a variety of safety-critical components, including the brakes, lights, steering, suspension, and bodywork. If any issues are detected, they must be repaired before the vehicle can be used on the road.

Tyres 

Your tyres are the only point of contact between the road and your vehicle, making them crucial for safety and handling. Proper tyre maintenance involves regular checks for tread depth, wear patterns, and pressure. Worn or damaged tyres can significantly reduce your vehicle's handling and increase the risk of accidents. Our experienced technicians can inspect, repair, and replace your tyres to ensure you have the best possible grip and performance on the road. 

Clutches & Cambelts 

The clutch and cambelt are essential components in your vehicle's engine that require regular attention to maintain optimal performance and prevent costly repairs. Our technicians can repair your clutch and cambelt to ensure your engine is running smoothly. 

Welding 

Welding is a specialised technique used to join metal components together. We use it most when repairing structural damage to vehicles, such as rust or collision repairs. We use the latest welding techniques and equipment to ensure strong, durable welds that meet all safety standards. 

Diagnostics 

Diagnostics involve using specialised equipment to scan your vehicle's electronic systems and identify any potential faults. This can help pinpoint problems that may not be apparent from visual inspection or driving symptoms. We thoroughly analyse your vehicle's computer data to determine the cause of any issues. Our experts will then recommend the appropriate repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How long does it take to get my car serviced? 

Whether you need a full service or interim service, we’ll usually need your car for half a day; if repairs are needed we may need it for a full day. However, our team will give you an estimated finish time before they begin, and update you during the day if this changes. 

How often should I get my car serviced? 

The recommended service intervals for your car will be in your owner's manual. Most manufacturers recommend getting a service every year, or approximately every 10,000 miles. However, you may need to do this more frequently if you drive in harsh conditions. 

What is an MOT? 

MOT stands for the Ministry of Transport and is a mandatory inspection that all cars in the UK must undergo every year after they are three years old. The MOT test checks a variety of safety-critical components on your car, such as brakes, lights, steering, and suspension. If any issues are detected, they must be repaired before the vehicle can be used on the road. 

Why do I need the wheel alignment checked? 

Tyres that are poorly aligned are often worn down quickly or unevenly which can make the vehicle difficult to drive. These tyres will need replacing more frequently. 

What are diagnostics? 

Diagnostics scan the vehicle's electronic systems and identify any potential faults. This can help pinpoint problems that may not be apparent from visual inspection or driving symptoms.
