Our Minor service is designed to keep your car performing at its best while helping to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Suitable for petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles, this service includes an engine oil change using high-quality oil and a replacement oil filter to ensure optimum engine protection and performance.
As part of the service, we carry out a thorough inspection of key engine components, including glow plugs and a basic injector inspection where applicable. We also check and top up essential fluids, including coolant/antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid (where fitted), and windscreen washer fluid.
To help ensure your safety on the road, we inspect the brake pads, brake discs, brake hoses and lines, handbrake operation, suspension components, and shock absorbers. Your tyres are also checked for tread depth and correct pressure, and the spare wheel or tyre is inspected to ensure it is ready for use if needed.
Our technicians carry out a visual inspection of the auxiliary/drive belt, exhaust system, turbo and intercooler hoses (where applicable), and check for any signs of oil or coolant leaks. We also perform a battery health test, inspect all lights and indicators, check the operation of the wipers, washers, and horn, and ensure that no dashboard warning lights indicate potential faults.
Once all inspections and maintenance have been completed, we reset the vehicle's service indicator (where applicable), leaving your vehicle serviced, thoroughly checked, and ready for the road.

Tyre Repair Service
Don't let a puncture slow you down. We offer industry-standard repair tools designed for reliability and safety. Choose the right method for your needs:
✅ Standard Plug Kits: Ideal for rapid, on-the-road emergency fixes. These "sticky string" kits allow you to seal a tread puncture in minutes without even removing the wheel from the vehicle.
✅Mushroom Plug Systems: The gold standard for professional repair. The unique "mushroom" shape seals the puncture from the inside out. As you pull the plug, its flared head creates a permanent mechanical seal against the inner tire wall, while the stem fills the puncture path to block out moisture and debris.
Important: If the tyre has sidewall damage or is too worn, the technician will likely insist on a replacement rather than a repair for safety. (We don’t do new tyres)
