A few more in today for aircon re-gas.

This little fiesta from the village needed headlight removed to get to the fill port which wasn’t well thought out Ford.

All gassed now, nice and cool for Molly

The weather has been keeping us busy with the 4th air con re-gas of the day.

Most people forget to get air con checked or even use it regularly and only know it’s not working when it’s very hot. 🔥 🥵

Another busy week at SCP HQ. This week back to what we used to do most of, imports.

Had Alex’s lovely Galant VR4 in for a service and MOT. Gorgeous Blue EVO 9 in for an ABS issue, new brakes and then this mint modded Honda Stepwagon. A lineup you don’t see often.

Have a great weekend everyone

If you know anything about brakes then you’ll know when the pedal goes to the floor….. that’s not good.

Had this come in the door, pedal to the floor, losing fluid and advised it needs new front pads.
Straight away I looked under the rear and see brake fluid dripping on the floor. Common on older cars with brake shoes set ups.

Thorough clean, new wheel cylinder, new brake shoes, bleed the brakes and it’s good to go.
Good pedal and no need to pump the pedal every time she stops.

Another week and another 3 haldex services. This one is from a VW T-ROC, less then 30k since last service, and look at the state of it.
These are supposed to be services every 40k on this model, but that filter was so blocked the pump wasn’t working correctly.

After the housing was cleaned, pump cleaned and a new filter fitted it’s just like new.

Been a manic few weeks at SC HQ. Catching up on a few jobs and getting project work done.

Of late we’ve been seeing a few cars with “full service history” but unfortunately we’ve found lots of parts that have evidently not been replaced and charged for. Take a look at this air filter, changed last year in a full service. There is now way that’s done the 6700 miles since last service.

We always keep parts to show customers what we have changed, sometimes asking to see them is wise.

It’s been a busy week at SCP HQ, catching up on jobs while still unpacking and sorting the workshop to how we want it. It’s been hard going but luckily we are getting there and have great customers.
Sadly today the weather has been shocking, but we’ve had these beauties outside to look at. Kinda looks like a mini VAG meet

Over the next few weeks we will be sharing loads of work we have done over the past 6-8 months but forgot to share it or not had time to.
It’s been a crazy time packing up while trying to still work and run a business but luckily we have had some understanding customers.

But have a picture of a random bumble bee, have a lovely Easter all.

Had the BMW coupe in few months ago with the paint literally blowing off as he drove. Painted the boot, solved the issue’s and a happy customer.

Last time I saw the workshop totally empty and freshly painted was 2003, and that’s because we did it. Wasn’t paint in any service when we moved in, looks good now
