Our work
Before, after, and what happened in between.
Four jobs from our workshop: what was noticed, what we found and how we fixed it.
Estate, 2015 · Tyre change · 45 minutes
Enough tread, but too old: winter tyres replaced after ten years
At the October change, the tread still looked good. The DOT code and fine cracks in the sidewall told a different story.

Brakes all round: discs and pads on an estate car
A grinding noise when braking. What we found: pads worn down to the backing plate, discs scored and rimmed with rust.
View projectCompact car, 2018 · Air-con service · 2 working days, part ordered
Air-con no longer cools: a leaking condenser
In July, only lukewarm air came out of the vents. Simply topping it up would not have lasted: the system had a leak.

MFK after the notice: cloudy headlights and a track rod end
A ten-year-old small car and the inspection notice in the letterbox. The pre-check found three points the inspection would have failed.
