🚗 Don't neglect your regular vehicle servicing. Take a look to see exactly what happens when you leave your filters way overdue. 🤢

​Here is why keeping on top of these is important:

​🛠️ Engine Air Filter: A blocked filter starves your engine of clean air. This chokes the air intake, leading to poor performance, fuel efficiency and poor air quality for your engine. Your engine needs to breathe to run properly!

​🤧 Pollen/Cabin Filter: When your pollen filter looks like this, it completely stops purifying the air inside the cabin. Instead of catching the dust and debris, you are in turn breathing it straight in.

Headlight refurbishment completed on this little fiesta.
Not only are they an issue when it comes to MOT time, but also cloudy headlight units reduce visibility and safety.

These were removed, sanded down with appropriate grits, refinished in a high quality lacquer to ensure long life and UV protection, refitted and collected the same day!

We also supplied, fitted and balanced some new tyres,
Supplied and installed new number plates and fixed a few small interior pieces.

Many thanks for your custom 🚗

Been a busy few weeks, the workshop is getting busier, and we have gotten some more help!

We welcome George down the workshop, who is taking on a fair chunk of the paintwork, and those who have already been down would have also met Frank, the Bulgarian rescue dog 😍 who’s settled in already, especially when Donna (aka sausage roll lady) is in 😅

A bumper week of paintwork completed, and as always… pictures!

Focus door and wing repair, pinned, pulled and skimmed

Bmw Z4 and Mercedes SLK headlights refurbished

Newer Nissan in for a front rocker cover reseal. These newer engines rely on sealant rather than a gasket. This one had issues from factory with oil seeping and filling up the valley where the injectors sit

Lovely little Nissan Micra for a sill and wing tidy up, and a few other little bits ready for its sale

Ducato in for a bumper corner repair

New Honda HRV for a lower valance repair, reusing all parts rather than buy new.

7 series front and rear bumper repair. Had to drop the bumper forward to repair a damaged parking sensor. We couldn’t remove the bumper completely, due to having a radar, and possibility of needing recalibration.

Finally….. An older Astra cabrio, wing and bumper corner damage. Customer assumed that the wing would need replacing, but we’ve managed to remove the dents and used minimal filler.

Geogre looking well happy with work….

Frank!

And a well deserved lunch date… Richard, George, Donna and Jon 😊

Don’t forget we can;

🛞Supply and fit new tyres… same day in most cases for cars, vans, campers.
🛞Repair and refurbish alloy wheels
🛞Diagnose and supply/fit replacement TPMS sensors
🚘Supply and fit windscreens if you do not have insurance cover
👨‍🔧Arrange MOT’s, carry out repairs, and general servicing work
🫟Repair and paint crash or cosmetic damage on your vehicle

Pretty large job taken on in the workshop the last few weeks courtesy of George…

RS3 in with previous paint issue down the entire N/S, after a full body wrap was removed and lacquer peel and rust forming…. Body repairs carried out, repair to the lower front splitter, and some interior trim items sorted from previous bodges and heavy handling.

Also removed the black wrap over the satin alloy door and roof trims bringing it back to a more factory appearance.

Its been a while again. So busy 😬

But….. another big photo dump of different paintwork from the beginning of the new year until present, i’ve neglected to tak photos of quite a few jobs, as its been so manic.

Mk6 Fiesta tidy up, with a really bad front bumper, and lacquer peeling bonnet. The bumper was a second hand jobbie that had originally been painted over what looks to be ocean blue… all the silver paint pressure washed strqight off…. Prepped, primered and repainted. 🤯

Honda civic bumper which had been reversed into, heated up, stapled and straightened.

Mk7 fiesta bumper for a trader

Hyundai bumper repair (second picture is in primer, forgot to take an after picture 🫢)

Skoda alloys, refurbished, new dealer centre caps and wheel nut caps. Thanks to WHEELWORX fo the dip/strip initial bit of work

Ford focus with rusty passenger doors, and bootlid. Tidied up for a trader.

A new shape Yaris with a creased front arch and door scrapes, finished today.

Lastly, a new truck step in colour for my favourite pest…. Jake 😅

A little photo dump of the couple of jobs done over christmas and new year…

Little bit of love and time taken to freshen up an Old Volvo estate.

Focus Zetec S bumper repair, Golf front bumper, and a few panels to freshen up a Renault Trafic.

Not a great start to the year weather wise, which has slowed the paint jobs down a little, but theres plenty of “can you just’s” to keep me busy for the rest of the month 😅

End of another year…… whilst its always good to remain as positive as possible, this year…. Quite frankly it’s been a s**t show.

Like many other small businesses, massive increases in workshop operating costs, material costs, staffing costs meant the last 3 months of the year consisted of 75 hour weeks, questioning my sanity.

Coupled with losing a couple of really good customers through illness and out of the blue suddenly, meant the christmas “can you just” or the holiday hospital jobs i look forward to, never came.

Trying to get out of being down in the dumps…. There is a few people/businesses that need recognition for the help and support this year…...

Richard, who is always ready to lend a hand, no matter what day of the week, whilst simultaneously roasting me at every oppurtunity, with or without an audience.

Jake… for just being Jake, endless clutches and cambelts, and more importantly fixing more than he’s broken this year.

Martlesham service centre, JPS car sales, A&D motors, Bennetts, MPD, Nicks Paints, Scott and Reece @ Wheelworx, Carl, Kev, Andy and anyone else thats made work life that little bit easier.

A few photos to end, from December.
