Is your MOT or service overdue?

It's easy to lose track of dates, and many drivers don't realise their MOT has expired until it's too late.

Regular servicing matters too. It helps catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

Call 01256 810707 today to book.

Power is restored, phones working so hopefully we will be able to catch up. For anyone worrying about the kettle situation, Sally brought in the emergency back up tea system!!!🤣

We are currently experiencing a power failure along with around 400 other properties. Our phone system is reliant on electricity to work, so we currently have no phones, ramps, or main lights. On top of all of this we can't make a cup of tea!!!! We hope to be up and running asap but are reliant on the electricity gods! Thanks for your understanding.

I was recently asked how much it costs to fit an engine. I gave a price and the customer found the labour time rather high as back in the day he and his brother could chuck an engine in an Es**rt van on a Saturday afternoon! Ah the good old days! So, where to start. Well, de gas aircon, drain all fluids, removal of all front bodywork and radiators, remove complete engine and gearbox unit. Strip, clean and inspect all components to be swapped to replacement engine. Reassemble, refit, refill all fluids, replace air con gas and refit all body panels. Finally, road test. Piece of cake really!!!😄
