Night and day!! The difference a little headlight polish can make!!
This caddy in for some suspension work, tyres and a gearbox mount, she’s slowly getting there!

Busy busy busy!!!

We’re fully booked this week at OIL autos so please bare with us!

BMW in for a front main seal. She’s properly seized in there so now that the ‘special removal tool’ has failed it’s off with the front end 🤦

We managed to locate the source of the oil leak on a transit pretty quickly …… last numpty put the oil filter on with a pair of pliers!

Some modifications needed to fit the towbar on this transit camper round the water tank so the customer can keep their beloved scooter!

Exhaust system on a corsa…… single post ramp issues 😂

Polite note to all our customers….. we will be operating slightly limited hours this week due to Mrs Oil being away with work and Mr Oil having to look after the small people that live in his house!!

Also it’s bloody hot!!

We’re fairly heavily booked at present but have space available all next week ☺️☺️

This was a fun one today…… one of those ‘quick’ jobs that resulted in this brake carrier bolt coming out in 3 pieces after hours of swearing, drilling, welding and hitting it with various hammers!!! We got there in the end but boy did she put up a fight!!!

Another fun week done and dusted at OIL Autos! Little flexi replacement on a discovery should keep the exhaust gases headed in the right direction! Some sill repairs on a focus to get her through an MOT. Leak off testing on a transit to narrow down a dodgy injector. Worlds lowest Passat back with no boost. After another garage charged a whopping £350 to fit a £20 aftermarket solenoid that didn’t work we replaced the 5a fuse that had blown and hey presto she’s boosting again 🙈. Some maintenance on the old yellow peril to keep the weather out and catastrophic failure on this Vauxhall (check out the Bluetooth camshaft)

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, see ya Monday!!!

All happening this week! Audi Q7 in for injector seals, ball joints on a Qashqai, rocker covers galore and plenty of servicing in between!
