FULL SERVICE: WHAT WE CHECK AND WHY


TYRE REPLACEMENT

Benefits of having your tyres replaced:

​ Improves grip and stopping time, making driving safer

​ We have the right tyres for your car with a wide choice of competitively priced tyres to choose from (Continental, Goodyear, Dunlop, Fulda, Uniroyal and Mabor).

Why do my tyres need changing?

At the right pressure, the compound rubber and scientifically cut tread patterns add to your car's handling and comfort. Too much wear will affect grip and safety as your car will become harder to handle. Incorrect tyre pressures and/or uneven tyre wear will also increase stopping distances in wet conditions.

What happens if they are not changed?

If your tyre tread is below the legal minimum depth of 1.6mm, your car won't pass an MOT test and you could be fined or get points on your license. But for safety reasons we recommend changing them before the legal limit is reached.

What do we do?

We check your tyres for pressure, tread depth and wear of the pattern. If they need replacing we have a range of different options in stock, depending on your car and type of driving.

How often do they need to be checked?

Every MOT test and service; and regularly by driver.

CAMBELT CHANGE

Benefits of having your cambelt changed:

Special offer price with our Fixed Price Servicing for Volkswagen 3-15 years old, up to and including 2.0 litre engines. Terms and Conditions Apply.

Peace of mind knowing excessive wear to your engine and the risk of snapping of the belt have been minimised and that your engine life is prolonged

We give a 2-year parts and labour warranty on Volkswagen parts fitted after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.

Why does my cambelt need to be changed?

The cambelt is one of the hardest working parts in your engine, driving major parts of the engine and keeping everything synchronised. Changing it prevents snaps, cracks and tears which in turn minimises the risk of major engine damage.

What happens if it's not changed?

The belt can go slack, making it snap or jump. This can cause severe damage to the engine. Your car will break down and could be very expensive to repair.

What do we do?

We strip down the relevant parts of the engine and renew the cambelt and cambelt tensioner. Then we reassemble the engine and road test your car.

How often does it need to be changed?

4 - 5 years (4 years for cars registered before September 2009, 5 years thereafter). This may need to be changed sooner for high mileage drivers.
