Sometimes the little moments say it all 🌈

With the new “Welcome to Calverts Autocentre” sign in the foreground and a rainbow appearing across the sky behind us, it seemed too good not to share!

It’s been an exciting few weeks as we’ve given the garage a fresh new look and officially made the move from Bakers MOT to Calverts Autocentre.

Same team. Same values. Same honest advice and quality workmanship — just a new name and a fresh start. 💙

And, as always…

Welcome to Calverts Autocentre. 👋

👀 SPOT THE DIFFERENCE…

Well, the secret’s finally out! 🎉

If you’ve seen our recent posts, you’ll know we’ve been teasing some changes happening behind the scenes at the garage.

And after a lot of hard work, we’re finally ready to show you what we’ve been up to…

✨ Welcome to Calverts Autocentre! ✨

We’ve given the building a much-needed refresh, tidied things up, added new signage and, most importantly, revamped our reception to make it a more comfortable and welcoming place for our customers.

But there’s one BIG change…

After many years proudly trading as Bakers MOT, we’ve now transitioned to Calverts Autocentre.

But for all of our longstanding customers, please don’t worry — it’s still us! ❤️

Same team. Same values. Same honest advice. Same quality workmanship.

Just with a fresh new look and a new name.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — we genuinely couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️

👀 Something’s happening behind the scenes…

If you’ve been following us for a while, you might remember me teasing a few changes coming to the garage when I shared a photo of our old office being moved outside.

Well… things have been pretty busy behind the scenes since then! 👀

You may have noticed this van out and about… but we’re not giving too much away just yet. 🤫

There’s a lot more to come that we’ll be revealing over the coming weeks.

We’ve been working hard to make some big improvements, and we can’t wait to show you the finished results.

For now, we’ll leave you with this little teaser…

Watch this space. 👀

More to be revealed soon! 🔵

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a lovely way to finish the week!

We’ve received another fantastic 5-star Google review from a customer who needed an MOT at very short notice — and we’re really pleased we were able to help get them back on the road in time for their trip. 🚗💨

It’s reviews like this that make a genuine difference to a small, family-owned business like ours. ❤️

Every review helps introduce new customers to us, and that support allows us to keep reinvesting in the business and making an already brilliant garage even better.

If you’ve visited us recently and had a great experience but haven’t left us a review yet, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to share your experience.

Have a fantastic weekend! ☀️

🚗 Diagnostic Success at Bakers MOT – Another Happy Customer! 🔧

We recently had a 2014 Volkswagen Golf in our workshop with two common but frustrating symptoms:
💧 Losing coolant
🌡️ No warm air from the cabin heaters

Our investigation started with a full visual inspection and a cooling system pressure test, but no external leaks could be found.

Looking closer, we noticed the coolant in the expansion (header) tank contained a fine sand-like residue. This is a well-known issue affecting a number of Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) vehicles from this era. In many cases, the silica material from the coolant expansion tank, or fine casting residue left in the cooling system, can contaminate the coolant and gradually block the narrow passages inside the heater matrix. The restricted coolant flow reduces cabin heating and can cause the cooling system to overheat, forcing coolant out of the expansion tank.

Following the manufacturer’s recommended repair procedure, we:
✅ Treated the cooling system with the genuine VAG neutraliser and cooling system cleaner.
✅ Thoroughly cleaned and flushed the entire cooling system.
✅ Replaced the heater matrix in line with manufacturer guidance.
✅ Refilled and carefully bled the cooling system.
✅ Carried out extensive road testing to confirm the fault had been resolved.

The result? ✔️ Full cabin heating restored, cooling system operating correctly, and another satisfied customer back on the road.

If your Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT or Škoda is suffering from:
🔹 No cabin heat
🔹 Unexplained coolant loss
🔹 Coolant being pushed out of the expansion tank
🔹 Brown or gritty-looking coolant

Don’t ignore the symptoms. Early diagnosis can help prevent further damage and more expensive repairs.

☀️ Well… things look a little different at Bakers MOT today! 👀

If you drove past this morning, you might have spotted our desk and computers outside! 😅 Don’t worry, we’re still open for business as usual – we haven’t completely lost the plot!

Something exciting is happening behind the scenes, but we’ll keep you guessing for a little while longer… 🤫

For now, we’re making the most of this glorious Friday sunshine while we finish off another busy week.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, and thank you as always for your continued support! ☀️🚗

⚠️ Tyre Safety – Not Everything Is Visible at First Glance ⚠️

These three photos tell an important story…

📸 Photo 1: The outer sidewall looked perfectly normal.
📸 Photo 2: The tread still appeared to be in good condition.
📸 Photo 3: The inner sidewall revealed a large split and bulge – a serious defect that could have led to a dangerous tyre failure.

This customer was incredibly fortunate that we inspected the tyre today before it failed.

It’s a reminder that you can’t always judge a tyre by what you can see from the outside. Damage on the inside of a tyre often goes unnoticed without a proper inspection, which is why regular vehicle checks are so important.

If you’re unsure about the condition of your tyres, or it’s been a while since they were last checked, we’d be happy to help. We’ll inspect them for wear, damage, pressures and overall safety, giving you complete peace of mind.

✨ A stunning VW T6.1 Camper in for some well-deserved TLC! 🚐✨

We recently had the pleasure of carrying out a full service on this immaculate 2021 (21 plate) Volkswagen T6.1 Camper Van. With just 6,000 miles on the clock, it’s easy to see why the owner wanted nothing but the very best for their pride and joy.

To ensure everything was completed to the highest standard, we sourced 100% Genuine Volkswagen parts and Genuine oil, delivering the quality you’d expect from the main dealer… but saving our customer hundreds of pounds while using the exact same parts and lubricants.

At our workshop, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between exceptional workmanship and great value—you deserve both. 💪

The icing on the cake? After collecting their van, the customer left us an amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google review before returning with some thoughtful treats for the team as a thank you! 🍩☕🎁

Gestures like this are never expected, but they really do mean the world to us. We’re incredibly fortunate to have such loyal, kind customers who appreciate the care we put into every vehicle. We always strive to look after both our customers and their vehicles, so it’s genuinely touching when that appreciation is returned.

A huge thank you for your continued trust and support. We truly appreciate every recommendation, review, and opportunity to keep your vehicles in top condition.

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! 😊
