It's Monday and it's been a while, it's time for the Purple Cow's tip of the week.

Rainy Cornish weeks are brutal on brakes. If your car pulls to one side when you brake, that’s your early warning that a caliper is starting to stick or a slider pin needs attention.A quick check now is a cheap fix.
Leaving it turns into a full caliper replacement.Perfect time to get it looked at, the weather’s doing nobody any favours.

If you have braking issues or anything else that niggling you give me a message and I'll get you booked in.

After a long week the herd and me decided a family night out was needed so we headed to Ozzell Bowl. I couldn't help myself but put my name in lights. Ignore the score 🤣

Good morning all,

It's Monday and schools back in session so it's time for the Purple Cow's tip of the week!

Cold mornings are coming, and weak batteries hate autumn. A quick battery & charging check now can save you from a no‑start later. If your car’s been cranking slower, lights dipping, or it’s been sitting a lot over summer… it’s time for a check.
Friendly mobile testing available - keep your car happy as the weather turns.

Happy Saturday all, it's been a mad week! The Purple Calf started secondary school so there was lots to prepare. Even with all that going on I've been out on the road keeping people moooving.

Here are just a few highlights of the week:

🐮 Transit Custom had a new tow bar and electrics installed.

🐮 Citroen C3 had a new rear door after losing an argument with a fence post

🐮 Peugeot diagnosed with suspension issues after customer heard continuous knocking

🐮 Another Citroen needed new belt and tensioners after the old tensioner failed leaving the customer stranded at a music event

All of these were sorted for customers without having to get the vehicle to a garage and the associated organisation and waiting times.

This weekend the Purple Cow dealt with a different kind of horsepower.

Many of my recent customers will know that I've been waiting for this boy to come home, in my down time I down tools and care for my three horses. This is our Big Boy known affectionately as King Bob 👑. He's been away for what seems like forever at Barwick Equestrian having training so we are able to ride him. It's taken 4 years of hard work and doing all the training we could from the ground and we couldn't be prouder.

Today's job of the day.

Don of Brickaneer Bay Studios got hold of me last week with a poorly Honda Jazz. I got to the bottom of the issue, one dead injector.

After waiting for the part it arrived today and I let him know I was free and he joked that he was at St Mawes Castle all evening. So what's a mechanic to do.

I met up with him and got his Jazz all fixed and sorted in no time at all. The car is all sorted and now Don can get up hills again without taking a run up. All done without Don having to change his plans and what a stunning location to work!

Today's feel good moment came after a lovely lady contacted me about her beloved bongo.

After being stuck for 7 months with several people looking at it and coming up with nothing the Purple Cow took the challenge. After testing everything I could I found the solution for her, ordered the parts and got her pride and joy moooving.

Turns out this lady learnt to ride where our stables are and we had a good chat about that while I was arms deep in the engine bay 😊

It's jobs like this that make me go home proud everyday.

Until next time, stay safe and keep moooving 🐮🛠️

One unlucky customer today, broke down on the way home after enjoying a Cornish break. They were lucky in another way, their car decided to throw off a belt just as the water pump gave up and managed to keep all the bits in the pump. They gave me a call and I got them fixed and back on the road, an unusual one for me as I spent half the day working in Menacuddle Well.
