Failed your MOT on emissions? Don’t panic.

An emissions failure doesn’t automatically mean you’re facing a huge repair bill.

There are several reasons a vehicle can fail its emissions test, including issues with sensors, the exhaust system, fuel mixture, ignition components or other engine management faults.

The important thing is to diagnose the cause properly rather than simply replacing parts and hoping for the best.

With advanced diagnostic equipment and experienced technicians, we can investigate the problem, explain what we find and advise on the right repair to get you back on the road.

Uniform? Check. Shoes? Check. Car?

The school run is back for some of us and while you’re busy making sure the kids have everything they need, don’t forget about the car that’s getting them there!

After a summer of days out, holidays and extra miles, now is a great time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the the daily routine.

We can check everything from tyres and brakes to fluid levels, lights and those little warning signs you may have been putting off.

Does your car feel like you’re driving on a bouncy castle?

If your car keeps bouncing after bumps, feels unsettled through corners or seems less stable than it used to, your shock absorbers could be worn.

Shock absorbers play an important role in keeping your tyres in contact with the road and helping your car remain stable under braking and cornering.

Signs to watch for include:
🔧 Excessive bouncing over bumps
🔧 Nose-diving when braking
🔧 Uneven tyre wear
🔧 Poor handling or instability
🔧 Knocking or unusual suspension noises

If something doesn’t feel right, get it checked before a worn suspension component becomes a bigger problem.

Nail in your tyre… does it automatically mean a new tyre?

Not necessarily!

Depending on where the puncture is, its size and the overall condition of the tyre, a safe professional repair may be possible.

However, punctures close to the sidewall or outside the permitted repair area generally mean the tyre will need replacing.

That’s why it’s always worth having it properly inspected rather than assuming the worst.

Spotted a nail or screw? Don’t pull it out! Give us a call and let us take a look.

Air con smelling a bit… doggy?

If switching on your air conditioning brings a musty, damp or unpleasant smell into the car, it’s worth getting it checked.

Over time, moisture and bacteria can build up within the air conditioning system, creating those unwanted smells every time you turn it on.

A proper air con clean and treatment can help tackle the source of the odour and leave your car feeling much fresher.

Don’t just put up with the pong. Give Graham Hill Motor Technician a call and we’ll get it sorted.

Quick question...

When was your brake fluid last changed?

A - Less than 2 years ago
B - More than 2 years ago
C - No idea!

Drop your answer in the comments. 👇

If you answered B or C, it could be time for a brake fluid change.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially increasing stopping distances. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it every 2 years to keep your braking system performing at its best.

If you're unsure, we can check it for you.

Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road, so keeping them in good condition is essential for both safety and passing your MOT.

If your tyre tread is below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, your vehicle will fail its MOT. Worn tyres also reduce grip, increase braking distances, and can be especially dangerous in wet weather.

At Graham Hill Motor Technician, we can inspect your tyres, check tread depth and condition, and advise if replacements are needed before your MOT.

Pop in for a tyre check today and drive with confidence.

Your tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road, don't take chances with them.

Worn tyres can significantly reduce grip, increase braking distances and make driving in wet conditions much more dangerous.

If you're unsure about the condition of your tyres, pop into Graham Hill Motor Technician for a quick inspection. We'll check your tread depth, tyre condition and pressures, and give you honest advice on whether they're safe to keep using.

A simple tyre check today could help prevent a costly - or dangerous - problem tomorrow.
