Sometimes we have to wonder just what they were thinking when they were designing these engines.

A perfect example of what should've been a 20 minute job, instead taking multiple hours!

Regardless of the "European experience", the vehicle left with a new, satisfied customer.

It's not every day that you get a Lotus in for new shoes.

We couldn't help but admire this brilliant example of a clean and cared for Elise.

Front end mishaps aren't the end of the world.

An air conditioning condenser is a simple enough replacement on a Next Gen Ford Ranger.

Now ready for when summer hits!

Another job that saved the customer thousands, using modern technology and some mechanical know-how!

The R52 Mini Cooper rear windows are a known culprit for regular failure, and this one was no exception.

Unfortunately new regulators cost over a thousand dollars new, each, and repair kits aren't available from BMW/Mini.

Searching online we were able to find a cable repair kit for under $100 and fix these window regulators for the customer.

The final piece of the puzzle were the missing frame guide pieces that we made in-house using a Bambu Labs printer as they did not come in the repair kits.

We wish it was always this easy to save the customer money!

This week we're removing the entire dash from this 1998 Lexus LX470 to replace the heater core. No small job, but thanks to the smart design, not too difficult either!

With the dash cluster out we also figured a polish of the aged and worn plastic face would help return this car to the luxury factory finish.

It's a Dobinsons kind of day at Peaky Tyres.

3.0 litre Ford Ranger back on the road after suffering major head gasket failure. Check out the condition of the valves!

A freshly serviced head, new set of injectors and a much needed fuel filter replacement has it running now running like new!
