range of Timax, Bosal and genuine Volvo systems. We stock a wide
range of tyres for many vehicle makes and models. Most of the
well-known brands are usually available with three deliveries

and alignment - which all come with our usual "free extras".....
quality workmanship and courteous service!
Valeting
- A range of valeting services are available, at various levels
from a 'wash & hoover', through to our 'basic' and premium'
valet services up to a complete 'renovation' which also includes
an engine bay clean. Prices
are based on vehicle size and condition, so call in for an individual
quotation.
We
use Autoglym Professional Valeting products, which are also used
in car factories and dealers for high quality showroom vehicle
presentation. As you should expect,
we're
fully trained in the professional application of the company's
range of products.
We
offer a loyalty scheme for those customers who use us on a regular
basis for our mini 'wash and hoover' valeting whereby we also
carry out a courtesy lights and levels check and every fifth valet
is free of labour charge.
A
courtesy 'wash and hoover' is carried out with all servicing and
major repair work.
Air
Conditioning - Air conditioning
or climate control systems have an assumed / acceptable degree
of 'leakage' in the region of 20% per year. Once running at less
than half capacity (measured by weight of refrigerant gas in grams)
they will be running inefficiently and causing undue wear on components.
When recharged, a lubricant oil is added to keep the rubber seals
in good condition.
With
modern cars the air conditioning is designed to run on a more
or less permanent basis but even if not used regularly there will
be deterioration of these seals in time which could then result
in expensive repairs. It is therefore advised to evacuate and
recharge the system at least every two years to keep it running
at optimum performance. Inefficient air conditioning may increase
fuel consumption.
Between
evacuation and recharge intervals we recommend that an antibacterial
agent be passed through the system. As well as sanitising the
system it will also eliminate stale odours caused by bacteria.
We
offer discounted air conditioning evacuation and recharging or
anti bacterial treatment when it is carried out with routine vehicle
servicing.
Diagnostic
/ Software - Gone are the days
when you could lift the bonnet and carry out minor tweaks and
adjustments using just a spanner and a test lamp! From 2000 to
2006 car technology increased significantly so that an array of
modules, sensors and relays do this automatically. Since 2006
in particular it became essential to have vehicle specific fault
finding, live data analysis and software equipment.
When
fitting new parts to some modern vehicles it is necessary to deactivate
a system before commencing repairs and then to reactivate / reprogram
afterwards. Some service interval indicators also need diagnostic
reprogramming.
We
have invested in a range of diagnostic equipment for most makes
and models and in particular for Volvo where we can also carry
out software assistance. *
