This beautiful young cat had a lucky escape this morning and quite an adventure!

Imagine our technicians face when he opened the bonnet and saw a scared and somewhat confused cat staring back at him.

Once we managed to retrieve the cat, who was luckily completely unharmed, we made some phone calls, the customer was just as confused and confirmed it wasn't their cat but did live near to them, with a quick Google and another call we managed to find the owner.

We spoke to the owner who confirmed it was their cat and then took the cat on one last adventure to deliver back home!

By 8.45am the cat was back home and safely with their very happy owner! Luckily this was a happy ending, fingers crossed this cat takes care of its other 8 remaining lives!

This is why we always measure the thickness of your brake disc when servicing your car or van!

The brake discs coming off this vehicle are less than 50% of the original thickness! Substantially below the manufacturers allowed tolerance which increases the risk of overheating, warping, cracking, increased braking distances and even a complete loss of braking.

Today we will be fitting a fresh new set of discs and pads to this vehicle and the driver will definitely notice a big improvement when braking! 🚗🚗🚗

Changing brake discs and pads on a rather large Tesla today. The original discs have definitely reached the end of their life!

Brembo brake discs for this vehicle 😊

Today's horror story! Our customer felt a vibration at 40mph and decided to get us to check it out, the inside of the tyre has almost blown out with a huge bulge which was only visible on a ramp. A check of the inside of the tyre shows lots of torn up rubber and damage through the structural cords of the sidewall.

A check of all the tyres found 2 more in similar condition! Fast forward an hour and the car is back on the road, safe and feeling much better to drive!
