Know the warning signs before your timing belt fails.

Service interval due, high mileage, cracking, or visible wear — any of these mean it's time to act. A replacement now is far cheaper than an engine repair later.

Your shock absorbers won't last forever — here's how to tell when they're wearing out.

Most shock absorbers last between 50,000 and 80,000 miles. Signs to watch for include a bouncy or uncomfortable ride, uneven tyre wear, and nosediving under braking. Get it checked before it affects your safety.

Do you actually know if your tyres are safe right now?

Use the 20p coin test to check your tread depth — if the outer band is visible, replace them straight away. Tyres below 1.6mm are illegal and dangerous. Check your pressure monthly and before every long journey.

Fresh oil protects your engine — do you know when yours is due?

Petrol cars typically need an oil change around every 10,000 miles. Diesel engines often need it sooner, especially under harder use. Hybrid drivers should follow the manufacturer's service schedule closely.

Air con blowing warm instead of cold?

Warm air usually means the refrigerant has dropped away. We re-gas the system, leak-check it and get proper cold air coming back through the vents so every drive is comfortable again.

Call us on 01773 863030 to book an air con re-gas.
