REPAIRS

Just a simple check

The cam belt plays a vital role in keeping your engine running yet this is usually the least maintained component of all.

IF IT SNAPS IT WILL DESTROY YOUR ENGINE!

If you have not had your belt replaced and your engine has covered over 40,000 miles you need to find out when it’s due.

If you would like to know at what mileage the manufacturer recommends your belt should be changed together with the cost then give us a call - It could save your engine!

When we quote to replace a cam belt we always include the price of a cam belt kit. These relatively inexpensive kits include guide and/or tensioner pulleys which if not replaced can cause premature cam belt failure.

FREE clutch check while-u-wait

If you are having problems with your clutch we would be happy to check it out for you without obligation.

All fitted with a 2 year unlimited mileage guarantee.

There are many clutch manufactures on the market but they are certainly not all made to the same quality. Our experience has led us is to fitting just 3 different brands, all of which come with the highest level of warranty on the market.

Does not include taxis, driving schools and commercial vehicles (Terms & conditions available on request)

Dual mass flywheels

This is a modern flywheel designed to dampen out engine vibration and noise being transmitted to the gearbox and ultimately the car. The unit is split into two sections: a primary section that bolts to the crankshaft, and a secondary section, onto which the clutch is bolted. Between the two there is a flexible bonding, generally rubber.

Sometimes that flexible bonding can deteriorate causing clutch or vibration problems. Unfortunately if they do start to fail they can be expensive as generally they are only available from the main dealer.

However some manufacturers have started to develop solid flywheel replacements which can be a cost effective alternative. If it is available on your model we will give you the options and then you can decide.

Engines - One year unlimited mileage warranty

A failed engine does not mean you have to write your car off. We buy direct cutting costs and have the equipment and experience to turn things round quickly. We can also supply a courtesy car (free of charge) while your car is off the road.

Cylinder Heads

We have a great deal of experience on replacing cylinder head gaskets and rebuilding cylinder heads, unfortunately due on many occasions to cam belt failure (please see the section on cam belts)

What type of breakdown?

Obviously if you’ve got breakdown recovery ring them 1st. If not the cost of recovery will depend on:

• Distance from our garage
• Type of breakdown. Can it be towed behind a recovery vehicle (I.e. it doesn’t have wheel, suspension or gearbox damage) Or will it have to be put onto a recovery truck
• Size of vehicle - Car or light commercial

Whatever type of recovery is required we always charge it out at cost price!
