At RBS Autos, not only do I carry out vehicle repairs and servicing

I also do vehicle inspections for finance and warranty companies, plus pre-purchase inspections for customers looking to buy.

I've already carried out three inspections in the last seven days for finance companies one of which is this Mercedes.

Although it had only been owned for a few months, the inspection found several faults, including a serious oil leak dripping onto the exhaust manifold, which is a serious fire risk, along with issues on the downhill speed control and radar system and electronic ignition switch ,

Whether you're buying or need an inspection, RBS Autos is here to help."

Late Friday afternoon, I had a call from a scooter rally attendee whose VW T4 had completely lost its clutch.

I arranged recovery with S J Recovery and then first thing Saturday it was pushed into workshop and carried out a full clutch replacement.

Once finished, i returned the van to the customer at the rally site, so they could head home on Sunday

Yesterday I received a call from one of the islands AA patrols asking if I could assist with a stranded holiday maker.

Their Volvo XC70 had a failed alternator.
After confirming the fault, I sourced a new alternator from one of our local suppliers and arranged recovery to the workshop.

The new part is fitted, the vehicle is running perfectly, and I'll be returning it to the owner shortly. Big thanks once again to the AA for trusting RBS Autos to help once more .

Something abit different today .

I got asked by a customer to replace a door that was damaged by an elderly gentleman .

Rather than go through the insurance he decided to buy a secondhand bare door and get me to replace it .

So remove the old door , strip all the internals from the old door , fit the new door and install the internals .

Happy customer

'Early start at the workshop this Monday morning for this Skoda Fabia clutch replacement.'

I had a call from a holiday maker at the end of last week after their clutch failed, but with how busy I've been, today was the earliest I could get them booked in.' 'I was in the workshop from 6:00 this morning, got stuck straight into it,
It also had new drive shaft gaiters fitted as they were spilt

After finishing the rest of today's jobs, I dropped it back to the customer this evening in freshwster so they can get on with enjoying the rest of their holiday.'

I always do my best to fit people in as quick as I can, especially when they're away from home.
Unfortunately, couldn't get to this one any sooner, but glad we could sort it and get them enjoying their holiday again.'

When you stop for lunch at Sainsburys but the bloke behind you has broken down .

Sainsburys staff closed the forecourt and turned all the pumps off and i had to wait until every customer had left the forecourt before they'd let me look at the car .

So if you wanted fuel at about 1pm today I apologise .

Last job of the week, completed on Friday, was this very large Mercedes Sprinter.

It came in with an EGR valve blocked fault, so a brand new EGR valve and cooler were fitted. While I was at it, I also fixed a small coolant leak from the fuel filter housing, a common issue on these Sprinters, so that was replaced too.

Not the quickest or easiest job, but it's always satisfying to get another customer back on the road with everything sorted properly.

I hope everyone's had a, great weekend, and here's to another busy week starting tomorrow.

This week I finally managed to get my own car back on the road.

While I’ve been on the tools for everyone else, mine sat in the workshop in its air chamber waiting for an MOT.

Now it's finally taxed, MOT'd, and back where it belongs for what's left of the summer, before I tuck it away again for the winter ,
It's my Mitsubishi Evo 4 with only 60k miles that I've owned for 16 years that i bought when they were cheap . As far as I'm aware, it's the only completely original example left in the UK, never boy-racered or messed around with. Just clean, original, and a joy to drive again.
