Our repair services explained
Servicing
Regular servicing is the cheapest way to keep your car reliable. We carry out interim and full services on all makes and models, using quality parts and oils – we never opt for cheaper brands – and we'll always tell you what your car actually needs, and what it doesn't. We won't be beaten on servicing prices. Show us a genuine like-for-like written quote for the same work elsewhere and we'll beat it.
Timing Belts & Chains
A snapped cambelt can wreck an engine, so replacement at the manufacturer's interval is money well spent. We replace timing belts, tensioners and water pumps, and diagnose and repair worn timing chains, on both petrol and diesel engines.
Brakes & Clutches
Brakes and clutches are wear items that should never be left too long. We inspect, repair and replace discs, pads, callipers, clutches and flywheels – restoring safe, confident stopping and smooth, positive gear changes.
Remapping & Performance
We offer ECU remapping and performance tuning to sharpen throttle response and improve economy, working closely with the BootMod3 and MHD tuning platforms. Custom tuning is also available, written and refined on live data logged from your own car rather than an off-the-shelf file. Remapping that alters a vehicle's emissions output is intended for motorsport and off-road use only, and it remains the owner's responsibility to keep any road vehicle road-legal.
Diagnostics & Electrical
Modern cars are as much computer as engine. Using professional diagnostic equipment we read fault codes, trace electrical faults and pinpoint the real cause of warning lights, non-starts and intermittent gremlins – so you're not paying to replace parts on guesswork.
Diesel & Emissions (DPF / EGR / AdBlue)
We diagnose, clean and repair diesel particulate filters (DPF), EGR valves and AdBlue/SCR systems to get them working as they should and clear related warning lights. Any removal or modification of emissions equipment is offered strictly for motorsport and off-road use only – we do not remove emissions systems from vehicles used on the public road.
