Find out what is wrong, repair what is faulty and keep the engine running smoothly.
A computer scan reads the fault codes stored by your vehicle's engine management system, followed by hands-on checks to confirm what is actually causing the problem. It is the first step when a warning light comes on or the engine is not running right.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Repairs to engine faults found during diagnosis, such as leaks, overheating, misfires or worn components. The aim is to fix the cause rather than just the symptom, so the problem does not keep coming back.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Spark plugs ignite the fuel in each cylinder. As they wear, the engine can misfire, start poorly and use more fuel. Replacement intervals vary by vehicle and plug type, so they are best matched to your manufacturer's schedule.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Routine maintenance that keeps your vehicle reliable and its service history complete.
Fresh engine oil and a new oil filter. Oil lubricates and cools the moving parts of your engine and breaks down over time, so changing it on schedule helps protect the engine. The right oil and interval depend on your vehicle and how you drive it.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
The air filter keeps dust and debris out of the engine, and the cabin filter cleans the air that comes through your vents. Blocked filters can reduce engine performance and airflow, and can cause odours or fogging inside the car.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Scheduled servicing carried out to your manufacturer's logbook, with the work recorded so your service history stays complete. The checks and parts included depend on your vehicle's age and the distance it has travelled.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Tracing electrical faults and keeping your vehicle starting reliably.
Testing and tracing faults in your vehicle's electrical systems, such as lighting, windows, central locking, sensors, starting and charging. Electrical problems can come and go, so a systematic check is the quickest way to find the real cause.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
A battery and charging-system test to check that the battery holds charge and the alternator keeps it topped up, with replacement if the battery is weak. Batteries commonly last a few years, and heat, short trips and age all shorten that.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Checks and repairs that keep you stopping and driving safely.
Inspection of brake pads, discs, brake fluid and brake lines, with repair or replacement where parts are worn or damaged. Brakes are a safety system, so noises or changes in pedal feel are worth checking early.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
A general check of your vehicle's condition, covering key mechanical and safety items such as brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, lights and fluids. Useful before buying a used car, before a long trip, or whenever you want to know where your vehicle stands.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Handling, comfort and grip: the parts that connect you to the road.
Inspection and repair of shock absorbers, struts, bushes, ball joints and steering components. Worn parts can affect handling, ride comfort and how evenly your tyres wear.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Adjusting the wheel angles back to your manufacturer's specification so the vehicle tracks straight and the tyres wear evenly. Worth checking after hitting a kerb or pothole, or after new tyres or suspension work.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Tyre condition checks and replacement, including tread depth, pressure and signs of damage or uneven wear. Tyres are your only contact with the road, so their condition affects braking, grip and safety.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
Diagnosis, repair and servicing for automatic and manual gearboxes.
Diagnosis and repair of gearbox problems in automatic and manual vehicles. Unusual shifting behaviour is worth looking at sooner rather than later, before a small fault becomes a bigger one.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED IT
A scheduled service of the transmission, usually including a fluid change and, where fitted, the filter. Transmission fluid wears with use, and the right interval depends on your vehicle and your manufacturer's recommendations.
