Rear brakes
We advised last year that the rear brakes were at end of life. The vehicle has come back for a service this year & someone else has done the rear brakes and made a big mess. Pads fitted inside out and springs missing from both rear callipers and discs not replaced. But don’t worry it’s only your breaks nothing important!

It’s looking like a Ford transit type of day one for service and one for a cambelt.

An A/C Regas Is More Than Just Adding Gas… ❄️🚗
When your vehicle comes in for an air conditioning regas, a proper pressure check isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Simply recovering and refilling the refrigerant without checking the system pressures can miss underlying faults such as:�✔️ Low refrigerant caused by a leak�✔️ Overcharging or undercharging�✔️ Weak compressor performance�✔️ Blockages or restrictions in the system�✔️ Cooling fan or condenser issues
A full pressure test before, during, and after the regas helps ensure the system is operating exactly as it should. It allows us to diagnose problems properly rather than just masking them with a recharge.
At the end of the day, a regas should restore performance—not just temporarily cool the air.
We believe in doing the job properly the first time, giving our customers confidence that their air conditioning system is working efficiently and reliably.
The photos show a BMW with a leaking high pressure pipe.

Quality diagnostics. Quality workmanship. Every time. 👨‍🔧❄️
