Our approved garage makes sure that your manufacturers' warranty is protected all the time. A regular car service ensures that your car is safe for you and other road users. A service will also ensure the vehicle is running optimally and improves fuel efficiency, prolongs the life of your car and can prove to be much cheaper in the long run. A badly maintained car is unsafe, inefficient and those breakdowns will all add up to a much larger bill than regular car servicing costs.

We use state of the art diagnostics tools to enable us to identify and fix any problems. These can be within the vehicles electrical systems, engine managements systems, or many of the other systems modern cars have. All modern cars should have annual engine diagnostic check and unless you ask for this to be done as part of your annual service this may not be carried out. We can perform any diagnostic checks that you may require, whether it is that annoying light on the dashboard or an annual check to make sure your engine is running to its peak performance.

If your car is having a braking problem, whether it's weak brakes, a mushy pedal, grinding sounds - whatever your brake problem is, you need to troubleshoot and repair it as soon as possible. Even though your brakes operate in a closed system, contaminants can still work there way into the system. Air can enter the system through the smallest hole, and you can end up with water in the system from condensation and other means. There's not really any way to check for this, but bleeding your brakes will remove the bad stuff and replace it with new fluid.

If you are in any doubt as to whether your tyres are legal and safe please drop in and one of our staff will be more than happy to check them for you and give you a quote there and then for any replacement tyres that are required.

read moreThe exhaust manifold acts as a funnel, collecting the exhaust gases from all cylinders of the engine then releasing them through a single opening, often referred to as the front pipe. Catalytic Converters (CAT's) are an integral part of a car's engine management system, not simply a part of the exhaust system. The CAT Can Fail because of Carbon pollution where un-burnt fuel, oil or antifreeze enters the exhaust system, leading to a partial or complete blockage. This could hamper your cars performance and make the exhaust system noisy.
