Second Opinion Saves the Day 🔧

A vehicle came in from a dealer for a £75 visual health inspection and second opinion. We spotted a potentially bent suspension arm and a front nearside tyre fitted incorrectly, hiding visible sidewall damage.

We also carried out a full diagnostic scan using our Snap-on diagnostic scanning tool to check for any underlying faults.

The customer returned to the dealer, and the repairs are being covered under warranty — potentially saving thousands in repair costs and a whole lot of hassle.

£75 well spent for peace of mind and confidence back on the road. 🚗✅
