The pieces of your car that we will check for you.
If all roads were perfectly flat then there would be no need for suspension. Unfortunately this is not the case; even freshly laid tarmac has subtle imperfections that can cause visible movement of a vehicle’s wheel as it passes at high speeds. It is the vehicle’s suspension that allows its wheels to respond to these imperfections and improve the comfort of those in the car.
Part of our policy of free inspections is to offer you a comprehensive suspension check. Suspension is important in keeping your vehicle balanced, helping to maintain a constant and balanced contact between your tyres and the road. A correctly balanced vehicle can benefit both braking and the general handling of a vehicle.
Steering and suspension are two elements of your vehicle that relate to each other; the condition of your suspension is likely to have repercussions on the process of steering.
Suspension is designed to ensure that all wheels of a vehicle are in contact with the ground. The handling of a car works best when there is friction between the road and the wheels as much as possible. If your suspension is not correctly calibrated then you may find that your general control of the car is not as effective as it could be. This can be especially noticeable when cornering.
The safety of our customer is of the up-most importance to us. The following is a list of areas that our specialist mechanics carefully inspect during our free safety check.
If your ABS warning light remains on then it could either be that your handbrake is not releasing completely or there is a more complex problem that our mechanics will be able to discern after an inspection. A quick look will reveal the condition of your handbrake linkages and cables. If replacement parts are necessary we can provide you with an on-the-spot quote. If your wheels are making a strange noise then it could be a problem with the bearings.
Clear windscreens are incredibly important with a broken wiper or washer severely restricting your vision. A mechanic can inspect the pressure of each of your tyres including the spare, as well as check the tread depth and general condition. We will assess the balance of your vehicle as well as carry out a simple bounce test to check the strength of your shock absorbers. Our mechanics can check vital components for wear, corrosion and potential leaks.
Clutch damage is very common, especially in vehicles with high mileage –if you need any repairs to the clutch or gearbox a quote can be provided on the spot.
