Keeping Your Vehicle In Good Nick
No two vehicles roll into the workshop with the same issue. That’s why we take the time to look beyond surface-level symptoms and deliver the right fix the first time. We service petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, using reliable methods and quality parts that meet manufacturer standards.
Our mechanical services also include brake and clutch repairs, logbook servicing, CV joint repair, safety checks and engine diagnostics. We’re set up to handle both minor fixes and major overhauls with precision and care. Every repair gets the attention it deserves—because long-term performance matters just as much as getting you back on the road quickly.
What is engine diagnostics in mechanical servicing?
Engine diagnostics involves using a scan tool to read fault codes from your car’s onboard computer. These codes help identify issues in systems like ignition, fuel injection, emissions and transmission. Diagnostics are useful for troubleshooting warning lights, performance problems or unusual sounds. They allow mechanics to pinpoint faults quickly and recommend the right repair, saving time and avoiding unnecessary part replacements.
Are mechanical services necessary for newer vehicles?
Yes, even new cars need mechanical servicing to stay in top condition. Skipping services may lead to performance issues, and more importantly, it can void your new car warranty. Regular mechanical checks help identify factory defects early, ensure fluids and filters stay clean, and maintain the vehicle’s resale value. New vehicles still benefit from preventative maintenance just like older models.
How long does a standard mechanical service take?
A standard mechanical service usually takes between one and two hours, depending on the tasks involved and the vehicle’s condition. Basic services like oil changes may be quicker, while major inspections, repairs or diagnostics can take longer. It’s best to check with your workshop beforehand, especially if your vehicle needs specific work like brake repairs or part replacements.
