Repairs
Our large fully equipped workshop and vast experience on working on all different makes of vehicles enables us to undertake most repairs requested by our customers.
We use our own diagnostic equipment to identify engine management warning lights and have a network of specialists if required. You would always deal with us.
We can also organise the following on your behalf:
• Welding and minor bodywork repairs
Services we can provide
Clutch Replacement - Labour 3-6 hrs
Due to clutch ‘slip’, ‘drag’ or ‘loss of pedal’due to clutch fluid leak. Typical symptoms are partial or total loss of drive and difficulty in obtaining gears.
Cambelts - typical labour 2-4 hrs
Generally changed between 40-100,000 miles or 4-10 years whichever comes sooner. If a cambelt snaps or sheds, this can lead to major internal engine damage.
Wheel Bearings - labour 1-2 hrs
You may notice a droning noise which gets louder as you accelerate. Also, if you need to pump out your brakes, this could indicate excessive play in a bearing.
Shock Absorbers - labour 1-2 hrs
Defects cause tyres not to make adequate contact with the road, meaning the brakes will be less effective and it will be harder to control the steering.
Head Gaskets
Fail after the engine has overheated in the past. When very hot, the cylinder head can warp.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Replacement caused by soot build by stop / start driving and incomplete DPF regeneration.
Turbos
Symptoms include engine warning lights, power loss, loud whining noise and a smoking exhaust.
