Well, we have acquired a new van so will be going back to looking for project Motorbikes again to fettle and bring back to life in our down time.
Should you have an old Motorbike looking unloved at the back of the garage or under a cover in the garden then give us a call with the details and we can make you a cash offer.
If there's a deal to be made, we'll likely be able to collect it the same day.👍

Here's a good example why regular servicing and the annual MOT are so important.
This tyre belonged to a customer that came in for some work and we discovered uneven wear to the tyres. One had worn one to a point of being unroadworthy and dangerous not just to the occupant of the vehicle but potentially other road users as well.
A tyre in this condition would get you 3 points on your driving licence and a significant fine if stopped by the Police.

So here is a really good example of why the Annual MOT test is so important.

This customer doesn't have their vehicle regularly serviced so once a year, the MOT is an opertunity to alert the owner to potentially lethal defects in their vehicle.

On this occasion it was the two front tyres that have been so badly worn on the inner edge that the internal ply / cord is now exposed.
The lack of tread on the tyre in general reduces the vehicles ability to stop quickly in the wet as it would struggle to disperse the surface water.
The exposed inner cord if left could result in one or both tyres bursting which if travelling at speed could have potentially fatal consequences.

The solution is simple. A pair of new budget tyres for the customer and a recommendation for a tracking adjustment is enough to get the car road worthy again and another 12mths MOT.

Something a little different this afternoon.
A BMW R1200GS motorbike with a faulty heated grip.
Often these can be repaired with some careful soldering but on this occasion it seems as though someone has already made a bad attempt to fix it.
Having found a mix of bad soldering, bare and uninsulated wire and significant heat damage from the poor previous repair, the grip couldn't be saved.

So one new genuine BMW heated grip fitted and the bike is ready for when the colder months return.

Getting rid of the leaking and rusty old rear shocks on an Iveco Daily and fitting a pair of quality Monroe Shocks.

This should improve the ride quality dramatically and keep this old Iveco road legal and ready to face its next MOT for the customer.

A few photo's from our trip earlier this year to the Isle of Man for the TT practice week.

In addition to servicing and repairs of Cars, Vans and Motorbikes we also buy MOT Failures and project vehicles.

So if your car or motorbike has failed its MOT and you've decided not to repair it, give us a call.
We are happy to make you a CASH offer and collect within a 10 Mile Radius of Worthing.
Or for our very best offer, bring it to us along with the V5 log book, service history and keys and we may be able to buy it there and then.
We would even be willing to give you a lift home after the deal is done.

Another day and another car that has broken suspension.
Our pot hole ridden roads taking its toll on yet another vehicle.
This time its a snapped rear spring on a Citroen DS4.
So we removed the old springs and fit a nice new pair for the customer making their car safe and road legal once more.

Another day another car with broken suspension.
This time a 2007 Vauxhall Zafira with one snapped rear coil spring and the other one not in great condition so a new pair of springs fitted and the car is now back on the road again.
I think some of the many Sussex pothole are begining to take a toll on customers cars.
