Car Servicing, Repairs and MOT Testing in Horley | How to Self-Maintain and Support the Work of a Garage
If you have ever made the short journey from Horley to our popular workshop on Spindle Way, you will already know that our standards for scheduled car servicing, car repairs and MOT testing will match those offered by local main dealerships and fast-fit centres. You will also know that our prices for things such as Class IV MOTs, MOT repairs and cambelt replacements tend to be a little lower because, as an independent, we have fewer costs to absorb.
Many motorists from Horley already trust our technicians implicitly.
On this page, we explain how service users can support our work by carrying out their own maintenance. A weekly check of your vehicle will ensure it is still compliant with expected safety and roadworthiness standards, and suitably primed to offer you mile after mile of exceptional ongoing performance.
Car Servicing
You can get more value from car servicing by undertaking weekly checks on a vehicle, and this is something that we recommend all customers from the Horley area fit into their schedules. By making sure oil and fluid levels remain topped up, and by checking the tyre pressures, your car will perform better.
Car servicing is a bi-annual maintenance option and to protect investment at a more personal level, your weekly checks will back the services of our team.
Car Repairs
If you have spent money on car repairs recently, monitor the performance of the system the work related to. If you have used a garage for brake repairs or a clutch replacement, pay attention to how your car slows down or changes gear. It is important that any new parts bed in property to function correctly.
Also, if you monitor the standard of car repairs on a vehicle, you learn how to recognise other unusual characteristics that indicate a running issue.
MOT Testing
Booking in for MOT testing is mandatory on cars over three years of age and inspections focus on safety and roadworthiness. Checking your lights and the indicators weekly, and looking out for the condition of wipers, tyres and the exhaust system, will help you to pass MOTs in the future if you remain vigilant.
If an issue arises and you have an upcoming MOT testing appointment, make the trip from Horley to Crawley and let us undertake your MOT repairs.
Cambelt Replacement
You should book in for a cambelt replacement at the intervals specified in a vehicle’s handbook but the careful monitoring of unusual noises coming from the engine, your car vibrating or an engine starting to overheat will indicate that the time has come to have a new cambelt or a new timing chain fitted.
Without frequent cambelt replacements, our customers in Horley could find themselves facing heftier bills for car repairs on a more frequent basis.
