How we work

During a full service, one of our mechanics will perform a number of checks and inspections across your vehicle. This can involve upwards of 50 different component checks to ensure the car is compliant with legal regulations and fully roadworthy. These will include:

– Checking the engine oil and related filters
– Checking the performance of lights, tyres, exhaust systems, brakes and steering
– Checking the hydraulic fluid and coolant levels
– Checking the suspension system
– Checking the entire cooling system
– Checking the steering alignment
– Checking the condition of the battery

To allow us to carry out your service effectively, we ask that you bring along all alloy wheel keys and/or locking nuts, your service book and clear out your boot. Our mechanics will use the highest quality parts for any repairs confirmed by yourself and we’ll work hard to get your motor returned as swiftly as possible.
