Unfortunately, we’ve had to increase our prices for oils and fluids across the board.

Over the last few months, wholesale costs have continued to rise sharply, and despite doing everything we can to absorb those increases internally, it’s simply no longer sustainable for us to do so.

Global instability including the Iran Conflict, ongoing effects from the war in Ukraine, rising transport and energy costs, and recent international trade pressures have all had a direct impact on the price of lubricants and automotive fluids throughout the industry.

We want to reassure all customers that any estimates created before today will still be honoured at the original quoted price.

This is not a decision we’ve taken lightly, but it allows us to continue supplying the correct high quality oils and fluids your vehicles require, without compromising on standards.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and continued support.

Do you own a 3.0 Jaguar from 2016 with the V6 diesel?

Here is what you need to know.

The timing belt interval is 112,000 miles or 7 years. Ignore it and you risk full engine failure.

But that is not the only problem.

The Gen2 engines have a known weak point. The camshaft pulleys fail. When they do, they take the top end of the engine with them.

This is not rare. We see it.

What we do differently:

• Full timing belt replacement to correct interval using OE belt kits
• Camshaft pulleys replaced as standard
• Guide deflection pulleys replaced (not included in the genuine kit)
• Genuine FoMoCo uprated heavy duty pulleys fitted in every job

No shortcuts. No reused weak parts.

If your vehicle is close to the interval, act now. Waiting costs engines.

Ever wonder why your car takes longer to repair under warranty?

Here’s a simple version of an easy claim.

In reality, it’s rarely that smooth.

Most of the time we’re asked for:
• Photos of faults that don’t show on camera
• Videos of noises that only happen once a week
• Measurements taken mid-job
• Evidence that only exists when the car decides to behave

Sometimes it feels like they want:
A picture of a noise
Or a sample of a smell
Taken while standing on your head in another county

All before they’ll say yes.

And until they do, your car just sits there, taking up valuable space, and wasting yours and our time.

SERMI is now live in the UK.

If your vehicle needs certain contorl modules programming, key coding, immobiliser work, or security related diagnostics, you now need to choose your garage carefully.

Only SERMI approved workshops can access manufacturer security systems.

We are fully SERMI approved.

What that means for you:

• We are vetted and authorised to carry out security work
• Your vehicle data is handled securely and correctly
• All work is carried out to manufacturer standards
• You avoid delays caused by non authorised garages

If your garage is not approved, they will not have access.

If your vehicle needs security related work, book with a workshop that is authorised.

We are ready.
