Ford Fiesta in for an engine rattle. Found the noise coming from the waterpump so we replaced the timing belt and waterpump. We also found a coolant leak from the thermostat housing while we were stripping it down so that got changed aswell! A job on the other ramp for a change 🤣

*READ CAPTION*

This isn’t a post I wanted to write, but January has come and gone, and I’ve been struggling with a significant number of customers who haven’t shown up or cancelled their bookings within 24 hours. This is really affecting my business. I had 70 cars booked in for January, but 15 of them didn’t turn up. My diary has always been pretty full, and I’m very grateful for it, so when someone doesn’t show up for their booking, it means I could have accommodated someone else. As a small business owner with a young family and a wife on maternity leave, losing 3 to 4 of my jobs a week is making a big impact. I understand that January is a tough month for many people, and I know unexpected things can come up, but I kindly request that you give me at least 48 hours’ notice so I can book in another car.

If this continues, I will be forced to introduce a deposit scheme, where you will need to pay before I can book your car.

Thanks for reading,
Scott

After 2 and a half years in business alone the time has come to expand! I’m looking for a mechanic to join me in the unit! Looking for someone that’s maybe just out of college and that’s keen to learn but also open to offers on fully qualified time served mechanics! If you’re looking for your next step then give me a shout and we can have a chat!

Cheers, Scott

Peugeot 208 in recently for a full service and new timing belt. Seeing more and more of these 1.0 petrol wet belts failing and causing oil pressure faults on the dashboard. This one has been very well maintained and the customer just wanted this done to prevent any future issues.

If you have a 1.0 or 1.1 petrol engine in a Peugeot/Citreon/Vauxhall then you will need your timing belt done every 60000 miles or every 6 years, whichever you do first.

Give us a call or message to get booked in!

Cheers, Scott

Two years self employed today! It’s been a crazy couple of years and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing customers. Taking the jump to start up on my own was a scary one but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Her’s to many more 🫡🤝🏼

We had this BMW X1 in with us last week for a replacement engine due to the previous engine suffering bottom end failure!

While the engine was out we took the liberty of replacing the timing chain along with various gaskets/seals and fresh oil and filter.

We offer timing chain replacements on various BMW models including the notorious N47 Engine so feel free to get in touch with any enquires!
