Servicing Your vehicle regularly is essential to make sure that it is reliable for many years to come. Many different problems could also occur whilst driving during the year that goes unnoticed such as play in suspension, minor oil leaks, coolant leaks that could lead to worse issues, or seized brake parts if left. Getting small issues such as these solved as soon as possible saves you money as they can be caught before the issue gets too out of hand.
Brakes play a vital role in the car stopping quickly and efficiently when needed and this makes it very important to keep all parts in good condition and well serviced so nothing becomes seized. If brakes are not maintained regularly then this could cause issues when trying to stop such as the vehicle pulling to one side or the brakes may judder. The brakes should be checked every year during a service to check if there are any problems and cleaned if needed.
Tyres are very important for the overall driving experience as they are the only thing keeping the car in contact with the road and this makes it critical to keep them inflated correctly and make sure they aren't worn out at all and that they aren't leaking any air. The legal tread depth is 1.6mm across the central 75% of the tyre. We replace tyres of all different makes and sizes such as Pirelli and continental so call today for a quote on tyres.
Making sure that the wheel alignment on your vehicle is correct is very important. It keeps your tyres from wearing quicker than they should on the edges and will change over time with the wear of suspension and may also change due to suspension damage from potholes. When your vehicle has had suspension work done or if the tyres have worn on a particular edge then wheel alignment should be done in order to prolong the life of the tyres.
Modern cars have become increasingly more reliable on electrics compared to older vehicles and a dead battery is now one of the most common reasons for needing breakdown assistance. Making sure that your battery is fully charged is essential to make sure that your vehicle starts on those cold mornings. As well as problems with the battery the alternator may also not be charging the battery which could also cause driveability issues.
The cambelt is designed to keep the valves and pistons moving in sync without touching, but if the belt breaks then this could cause the pistons to smash the valves and this may cause a lot of expensive engine damage. Over time every cambelt will wear and could possibly stretch so it is best to make sure you get your cambelt changed at the correct interval which is typically 4-10 years depending on the manufacturer.
Diagnostics tests can tell you problems within the car's engine system, braking system, airbag system, and many other systems as cars become more and more electrical. When your vehicle has a warning light on it should not be ignored as some small issues such as a sensor or wiring issue could turn into something more costly if left for a prolonged period of time. A proper diagnosis is key in order to replace parts and it is vital to fix the issue.
The clutch on your car is very important for allowing you to take off and stop smoothly. It also allows you to change gears freely without trouble getting into gear. If you are experiencing massive amounts of clutch slip, it will be very difficult to drive your vehicle and may cause it to rev the engine during normal driving. You may also experience a spongy pedal which is usually a sign of a leak within the clutch system. If you own a diesel the DMF may also need to replaced at the same time.
The gearbox allows you to change the output of the gear ratio to the wheels either to achieve more torque or to achieve more speed depending on which gear you pick. When your gearbox starts to fail you may notice that it jumps out of gear or there may be a noise coming from one of the bearings in the gearbox in a certain gear. We can remove the gearbox on your car and either get it reconditioned or replace it with a new or remanufactured unit.
The cars air conditioning system provides that nice cool breeze on those hot summer days and also aids in the demisting of your car in the winter so is an important system to have functioning properly. It is typically recommended that an AC service is carried out every 2 years. Most cars end up losing all the gas needed for pressure in the system and then do not function properly. We can carry out ac diagnostics on systems that are not functioning properly.
The car exhaust system's main role is in order to reduce the emissions coming out of the tailpipe, reduce the noise output from the car, and also to move the harmful exhaust gases away from the cabin of the vehicle. We can replace exhaust systems on all makes and models of cars with either a quality aftermarket unit or a genuine unit. We also carry out diagnostics when emissions systems aren't working as they should possibly due to failed lambda sensors.
The dpf filter on your car is used in order to trap all of the soot and harmful emissions coming out of your diesel engine. This is to prevent the harmful gases from going into the air that we breathe every day. Over time a dpf filter may become blocked up and will need cleaning to return it to a normal state. This may cause running issues with your car. If your dpf has blocked this is typically a symptom of another underlying problem causing this to happen.
