🔧 Saving Our Customers Money the Right Way 🔧

This Hyundai came into Acorn Garage with excessively worn rear trailing arm bushes, causing unwanted movement in the suspension and affecting the vehicle’s handling and stability.

Many garages would recommend replacing the complete trailing arms, but after inspecting the vehicle, we were able to press out the worn bushes and fit new ones instead.

✅ Correct repair carried out
✅ Suspension restored to factory standard
✅ Significant saving compared to replacing complete arms
✅ Less waste and no unnecessary parts

At Acorn Garage, we’re always looking for the most cost-effective solution for our customers without compromising on quality or safety. Sometimes replacing a small component rather than a complete assembly can save hundreds of pounds.

If you’ve noticed knocks, clunks, uneven tyre wear, or your vehicle just doesn’t feel as stable as it should, it’s worth getting your suspension checked before the problem gets worse.

⚠️ Don’t Ignore That Noise! ⚠️

Strange noise coming from your car? A squeak, grind, knock or rattle is often your vehicle’s way of telling you something isn’t right.

This customer had noticed a noise from their brakes but wasn’t too concerned as their MOT was due soon and they hoped it would last until then. Unfortunately, as you can see from the photos, the brakes had been running metal-on-metal for some time, causing excessive wear and creating a serious safety concern.

The good news? We caught it before it became even more expensive. We fitted new brakes, cleaned and prepared everything correctly, and got the vehicle back on the road safely – braking like it just left the factory. ✅

At Acorn Garage, we don’t charge for a quick safety check if you’re worried about a noise. We’d much rather spend a few minutes checking your vehicle than see a small issue turn into a major repair bill or, worse, a safety risk.

If your car is making a noise and you’re not sure whether it’s safe to keep driving, pop in and let us take a look.

🔧 Clutch & Flywheel Replacement Completed 🔧

This 2015 Citroën Picasso came into Acorn Garage with clutch-related concerns. Upon inspection, we found the clutch was excessively worn and nearing the end of its service life.

To restore smooth and reliable operation, we replaced both the clutch and flywheel with quality components, ensuring the vehicle is back on the road performing as it should.

Ignoring the signs of a worn clutch can lead to further damage and increased repair costs, so it’s always best to get any symptoms checked early.

Common signs of clutch wear include:
✅ Clutch slipping under acceleration
✅ Difficulty selecting gears
✅ Juddering when pulling away
✅ Unusual noises from the transmission area

If your vehicle is showing any of these symptoms, our team is here to help.

Another Ford Focus in at Acorn Garage for the dreaded wet belt replacement… but this one came in with a serious issue — no oil pressure.

“Dude… where’s my oil pressure?” 👀

As many owners are finding out, once these wet belts begin to break down, the belt material contaminates the oil system and can block the oil pickup, starving the engine of vital lubrication. Left too long, it can quickly turn into a full engine replacement rather than preventative maintenance.

This Focus was stripped down, cleaned thoroughly, fitted with a new wet belt kit, oil pickup cleaned, fresh oil and filters fitted, and oil pressure restored correctly.

If you own a wet belt Ford, don’t ignore:⚠️ Oil pressure warnings⚠️ Timing correlation faults⚠️ Noisy running⚠️ Poor servicing history

Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than an engine rebuild.
