🔧 MINI COUNTRYMAN | MAJOR ENGINE REBUILD & CLUTCH REPLACEMENT 🔧

This MINI Countryman came into the workshop after suffering a timing chain failure, along with the need for a clutch replacement.

This was no small job! 💪

The engine was stripped down from the top end and rebuilt, with extensive work carried out, including:

✅ Full top-end strip-down and rebuild
✅ Head gasket replacement
✅ Complete timing chain kit replacement
✅ New clutch kit fitted
✅ Extensive labour to get everything back together correctly

With timing chain failure, the damage can be significant, making this a very labour-intensive job that requires time, care and attention to detail throughout.

Everything was carefully rebuilt and reassembled to get this MINI back on the road. 🛠️🚗

Another big job tackled in our workshop! 👨‍🔧

✅ Full cylinder head recondition
✅ Burnt exhaust valve rectified
✅ Engine rebuilt
✅ Misfire completely gone
✅ Running perfectly again

🔥 CATACLEAN 8-IN-1 vs REDEX 🔥

What’s the difference?

Most people have heard of Redex, but Cataclean 8-in-1 is designed as a more comprehensive treatment for the fuel AND exhaust system.

🟢 CATACLEAN 8-IN-1

✓ Fuel injectors
✓ Intake valves
✓ Combustion chambers
✓ Turbo
✓ EGR system
✓ Catalytic converter
✓ DPF
✓ Exhaust system

Helping to tackle carbon and deposits throughout the system, with potential benefits including:

⚡ Smoother engine performance
💨 Supports DPF regeneration
⛽ Helps maintain fuel economy
🌱 Helps reduce harmful emissions
🔧 Helps prevent carbon build-up
🚗 Helps maintain throttle response & performance

🔴 REDEX

A well-known fuel additive primarily aimed at keeping the fuel system and injectors clean, helping maintain engine performance and fuel economy.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE?

Redex = primarily fuel-system maintenance

Cataclean 8-in-1 = fuel + engine + emissions/exhaust-system treatment

We don’t like recommending something just because the bottle makes big promises, so we’ve tried and tested Cataclean ourselves before offering it to customers.

The results impressed us enough that we can now supply Cataclean 8-in-1 directly from AMW Automotive. 🔧

A MESSAGE TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS 🔧

I wanted to share a little update about the business and where we’re heading.

When I started On-The-Go AutoCare, the idea was simple: take the garage to the customer and build a business around providing a reliable local service.

Since then, things have changed quite a bit.

The business has grown, I’ve moved into my own workshop, and what started as a mobile mechanic service has gradually become a proper garage-based business.

Because of that, I’ve been thinking for a while that the name should reflect what the business has become.

So I’m pleased to introduce:

AMW AUTOMOTIVE

For the time being, you’ll still see the On-The-Go AutoCare name alongside AMW Automotive while we gradually introduce the new branding.

Most importantly, nothing about the service you receive is changing.

It’s still me working on your vehicles, in the same garage, with the same contact details and the same approach I’ve always had.

The only thing we’re changing is the name over the door.

I genuinely appreciate everyone who has trusted me with their cars, recommended me to friends and family, shared the business online or simply come back whenever they’ve needed something doing.

You’ve helped take this from working mobile to having a workshop of my own, and I want the new name to represent the next stage of that journey.

So whether you know us as On-The-Go AutoCare or AMW Automotive, you’ll still be dealing with me.

Same mechanic. Same service. New look.

Thank you for your continued support.
