After nearly 30 years of swinging spanners (broken up here and there by a lil' bit of truck driving, handyman-ing, landscaping, electrical system fitting, parenting, and travelling) the inevitable has happened.

Same amazing mechanic, new logo and premises. Come check us out 💙💛

Mechanic Monday: The Lowdown on Oil Levels 🛢️🚗

Your engine oil should be somewhere between “not enough” and “did you just open a bakery under the bonnet?”
Too low, and you risk serious damage. Too high, and your engine might start frothing like a badly poured beer. 🍺 (Not recommended.)

Quick check: Pop the bonnet, pull the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert, and check the level. It’s like a sandwich—you want a good spread, not a dry patch or overflow.

Regular checks keep your engine happy—and save you a call that starts with “so… funny story.”

👉 Like and follow this page for more tips, car care reminders, and the occasional unsolicited tool pun.
(You’ve been warned.)

Speedy Saturday Tip! 🚗⚡

Battery terminals looking crusty?
That white, chalky gunk can mess with your car’s starting power. Quick fix: mix a little baking soda with water, give it a gentle scrub with an old toothbrush, and rinse clean. Just make sure the car’s off—unless you want a shocking Saturday. 😅

Clean terminals = smoother starts and fewer "why won’t it start?!" moments.

Need a proper check-up? We’ve got you covered—message us to book in!

Mechanic Monday Tip: Don’t Ignore the Squeal!

If your brakes are making a noise that turns heads (and not in a good way), it might be time for a checkup. That high-pitched squeal? It’s not your car auditioning for a boy band—it’s your brake pads crying out for help!

Regular brake checks = smoother stops and safer drives.

Need us to take a look? We’ve got the tools and the tunes. Book in this week—your car (and ears) will thank you.
