Wetbelt on Vauxhall grandland x

This mornings job: A Cambelt on a Ford KA

Whilst not everyone's favourite job 🥵, a necessary one nonetheless. Even though this belt doesn't look as deteriorated as Technician "Mike's" last "Wet belt." It was coming up to that age and mileage ⏱️. Our very wise customer requested it for peace of mind 🙏.

Even though this wasn't the worst "Timing belt" we've seen here 🧐... Our customer can now sleep 😴 easy knowing that the vehicle has another 62,000miles/ 60 months!

If you think your vehicle is due a "Cambelt/ Timing belt," get in touch:

Job of the day: Wet Belt on a Citreon C3

Have a vehicle with a "Wet belt?" If you do. The chances are you're probably already aware of how 🤔... Temperamental, these can be.

The right oil 🛢can be just as important as having the oil changed regularly with your service. The deterioration of the "Timing belt" can cause the oil pick up in your engines sump to block up 💥🙈. This can happen for a number of reasons. Time 🕑, mileage 🚗💨, or the use of the wrong oil grades.

We here at "Kings Acre Garage" are here for all your motoring needs, from "Wet belts" to Servicing! So if your vehicle is due either, give one of our trained and knowledgeable staff a call on:

Our customer had a problem with their handling earlier this week. Reporting, their car didn’t feel as firm as it used to on the road! 😵‍💫

After a quick road test to confirm and an inspection 🔍 on one of our ramps, we indeed found cause for the vehicle to be handling the way it was - Or not handling the way it should! ⛷️

We found the "front lower control arm bushes" needed a little bit of love. And it was well and truly time to retire them, after a good well earned rest! 🏖

One of our qualified Technicians removed the bottom arms (with bushes in toe), and set them aside for their retirement plan... In the Bahamas 🌴of course... They were then replaced with nice new, beautiful, shiny arms and bushes ready to deal with whatever Herefordshire roads can throw at them 💪

If you find yourself a bit unsure, or have a noise or issue that you need solving... Don't hesitate to give us a call:

🔧 Todays little job for the guys in the workshop. The customer reported an issue selecting gears, so after one of our highly skilled Technicians diagnosed the issue. We removed the gearbox to have a closer look at the problem, we found:

The Clutch selector fork had seized due to clutch plate materials, as well as worn bushes 🫣. So we did what was needed!

🔨We replaced the clutch kit, removed, cleaned and unseized the fork arm. As well as replacing and greasing the new bushes!

Having his gears back, the gent drove away a happy customer! 🚗💨

If you find yourself in need of an MOT, Service or repair work... Don't hesitate to call us:
