What Is Your Car Doing?

Start with what you can hear, feel or see. The symptom is usually more useful to us than your best guess at the part.

Warning light on?

A dashboard warning can have several causes. Diagnostics help narrow down the fault before parts are replaced.

Strange noise?

Knocks, rattles, squeals and grinding noises are worth checking before a small issue becomes a larger repair.

Car feels different?

Pulling, vibration, poor braking, rough running or a change in steering can all be signs that something needs attention.

Hard to describe?

That is fine. Tell us roughly what you can hear, feel or see, and when it tends to happen. That gives us somewhere useful to start.

Our Approach to Repairs

Find the cause, explain the options and only then decide what the car needs.

Start with the symptom and investigate before replacing parts

Explain what has been found and what needs attention

Discuss repair options and likely costs before additional work

Check the completed repair before the vehicle is handed back

What happens once the car is in the workshop?

We start with the symptom, reproduce it where possible and work through the likely causes. That may involve a road test, visual checks, diagnostic data or mechanical testing depending on the problem.

Tell Us What You Have Noticed

A rough description is enough. Tell us about the noise, warning light or change you have noticed and we’ll contact you about workshop availability.
