Services
Mobile Brake Repair
Our mobile brake repair service addresses front and rear brake wear issues caused by driving conditions and vehicle load distribution. We diagnose and resolve spongy brake pedals, fluid leaks, and excessive wear while explaining the technical balance between front and rear brake efficiency. Using professional diagnostic equipment, we replace brake pads, discs, and hydraulic components at your location, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety compliance.
MOT Failure Work
We specialise in resolving MOT failure issues identified by testing centres. Our mechanics perform pre-MOT inspections and complete necessary repairs for emissions, suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems. We handle VT30 documentation requirements and offer pickup/drop-off services for test centres. Our technicians explain common failure points like tyre tread depth, suspension wear, and exhaust integrity to help prevent future test failures.
Timing Belt Replacement
Critical timing belt replacement services prevent engine damage in interference engines. We follow manufacturer guidelines for replacement intervals between 34,000-100,000 miles, inspecting tensioners, pulleys, and water pumps during replacement. Our mechanics explain the risks of belt failure and recommend simultaneous component replacements to maximise engine longevity and reliability.
Diesel Fuel Injection Repair
Specialist diesel fuel injection diagnostics and repairs for light commercial vehicles and passenger cars. We address common issues with starting equipment, fuel pumps, and injection systems using mobile diagnostic tools. Our technicians resolve performance problems caused by contaminated fuel, worn injectors, and electronic control unit faults while explaining maintenance practices to prevent future issues.
Car Diagnostic Service
Advanced engine management diagnostics using professional equipment to resolve check engine lights. We interpret error codes from all vehicle ECUs, identifying issues with sensors, emissions systems, and mechanical components. Our diagnostics include visual inspections of critical systems and explanations of fault codes in plain language to help customers understand necessary repairs.
