Our Services

Everything your car needs under one roof — carried out by an experienced mechanic who explains the work in plain English before you're charged a penny.

01

Brakes

Safe, reliable brake repairs for all makes & models.

Mechanic fitting a new brake caliper and disc

What it covers

  • Brake pad and disc replacement
  • Calipers, hoses and brake fluid changes
  • Handbrake adjustment and ABS checks
  • Free brake inspection with any service

Why it matters

Your brakes are the single most important safety system on your car. Worn pads or warped discs increase stopping distances and can turn a near miss into an accident.

What you get

  • Quality parts fitted at a fair price
  • Squeaks, grinding and vibration sorted properly
  • Most brake jobs completed the same day
02

Diagnostics

Advanced fault-finding with modern equipment.

What it covers

  • Full engine and system fault code reads
  • Live data testing for sensors and electrics
  • Warning light investigation (engine, ABS, airbag)
  • Clear written explanation of what we found

Why it matters

A warning light on the dash can mean a £20 sensor or a serious engine problem. Proper diagnostics tell you exactly which, so you never pay for parts you don't need.

What you get

  • No guesswork and no unnecessary parts
  • Honest, plain-English explanation before any work
  • Fixed right the first time
03

Servicing

What it covers

  • Interim service: oil, filter and safety checks
  • Full service: oil, air, fuel and cabin filters, plus full inspection
  • Fluid top-ups, tyre and brake checks
  • Service history stamped and recorded

Why it matters

Regular servicing keeps your engine healthy, protects fuel economy and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

What you get

  • Better reliability and lower running costs
  • Protects your car's resale value
  • Affordable fixed pricing, no surprises
04

What it covers

  • Cam belt (timing belt) and tensioner replacement
  • Water pump replacement where recommended
  • Correct timing set with proper locking tools
  • Manufacturer intervals checked for your model

Why it matters

A snapped cam belt can destroy an engine in seconds. Replacing it on schedule is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a four-figure repair bill.

What you get

  • Genuine or OE-quality kits fitted
  • Peace of mind for the next service interval
  • Straight, honest quotes before we start
05

Clutch & Flywheel

What it covers

  • Clutch kit replacement (plate, cover, bearing)
  • Dual-mass and solid flywheel replacement
  • Slave and master cylinder repairs
  • Gear selection and biting point diagnosis

Why it matters

Slipping, juddering or a high biting point means the clutch is on its way out. Left too long it can damage the gearbox and leave you stranded.

What you get

  • Smooth, confident gear changes again
  • Quality kits with proper torque and alignment
  • Competitive prices against main dealers
06

  • Pre-MOT checks so you pass first time

Why it matters

A failed MOT means your car is off the road. We turn failures around quickly and only fix what actually needs fixing.

What you get

  • Quick turnaround to get you legal again
  • Clear pricing before any work begins
  • We explain every item on your MOT sheet
07

Volkswagens outside the Ash Mechanic workshop

What it covers

  • VW-specific diagnostics and coding
  • DSG, TSI and TDI common fault expertise
  • Servicing to VW schedules

Why it matters

Volkswagens have their own quirks and known faults. Years of hands-on VW work means we spot them fast instead of charging you to learn on your car.

What you get

  • Specialist knowledge without dealer prices
  • Correct parts and correct procedures
  • Faster diagnosis, faster repair
