Let's put a face to a name.....

Today we celebrate Donna's 11 year anniversary with us. Donna is very busy often looking after the customers from there first enquiry, to collecting/delivering the vehicles, organising the parts, attending to the mountain of paperwork and keeping everything running smoothly. When Donna's not working she can often be found teaching, training and competing in scentwork with her dogs and she's also training Bruno up to track for lost dogs.

Thank you Donna for your hard work, here's to the next year!

⚙️ Timing Chains: The Engine’s "Eternal" Backbone
Ever wonder how your engine stays in perfect sync? Meet the Timing Chain. Unlike rubber belts, these steel links are built to last the life of your car—if you treat them right.

The Essentials:

🔗 The Job: Connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. No chain = no movement.

🛢️ The Secret Sauce: They live inside your engine and rely entirely on clean oil for lubrication and tension.

Warning Signs 🚩

The Rattle: A metallic "clacking" sound on cold starts.

The Light: A Check Engine light for "cam/crank correlation."

The Sludge: Skipping oil changes causes the chain to "stretch" (wear out), leading to a massive repair bill.

Pro-Tip: Want your timing chain to last forever? Change your oil on time. It’s the cheapest insurance policy for your engine! 🛠️

We may no longer be The Mobile Garage that comes to you... BUT we do still want you to be able to get on with your day with as little hassle as possible when it comes to having your car serviced or repaired, therefore we do continue to offer local collection & delivery at no extra charge to yourself.
