🔧 NOISE? WE’LL FIND IT!

Customer came to us after hearing an annoying noise coming from the rear of the car while driving.

After a bit of investigating, we found the culprit… 👀

The rear shock top mount had corroded right through! Not exactly where you want your suspension to be failing!

We replaced both rear shock top mounts AND both rear shocks to get everything back in top condition. 💪🔧

Noise gone, suspension sorted and another vehicle safely back on the road! 🚗

🔧 Not a noise you want to ignore!

This customer came to us after noticing a grinding noise when braking. After a closer inspection, we found the rear brake pads were well and truly past their best!

The pads had worn right through the wear sensor, with the inner pad completely worn down to metal-on-metal 😬

Luckily, the customer didn’t leave it any longer and contacted us before it caused even more damage.

New rear pads fitted and back on the road with the brakes doing what they should! 🚗💨

If your brakes start making an unusual noise, don’t ignore it — get it checked before a small job turns into a much bigger one! 👀

🚐🔧 This camper definitely wasn't whispering... it was shouting for a new clutch! 😅

The customer got in touch after noticing a very noisy clutch, so we got it booked in and got to work.

While we had everything apart, we fitted a brand-new 3-piece clutch kit, so it's now driving smoothly, quietly, and ready for plenty more road trips! 🙌

If your clutch is making strange noises, slipping, or just doesn't feel quite right, don't wait until you're stuck at the side of the road.

📞 Drop FC Automotive a message to get booked in – we're a family-run mobile mechanic, bringing the garage to you! 🔧🚗

🚗🔧 A little holiday warning before we disappear! ☀️

Just giving all our lovely customers a friendly heads up that we’ll be hanging up the tools and swapping spanners for sunshine from Friday 25th July until Monday 4th August 🌴🍹

Before we swap the tools for sunshine and for a bit of relaxation, we wanted to give everyone plenty of notice. If your vehicle needs some attention, has started making a strange noise (you know the one… the “I’ll just turn the radio up and hope it goes away” noise 😂), or you’ve been meaning to get something checked — please get booked in before we go to avoid disappointment!

So enjoy this lovely sunshine while it lasts… we’ll be trying to do the same! ☀️

Clutch pedal? ❌

This customer stopped at a petrol station... but unfortunately, the clutch had other ideas! 😅

Rather than just fixing one problem, we replaced the faulty slave cylinder and fitted a brand-new clutch while we were there. One happy customer, one healthy clutch, and one car back on the road! ✅

If your car chooses the worst possible moment to give up, give us a call and we'll bring the workshop to you. 🔧

We had a Nissan Juke in today that serves as a great reminder of why we dig deep into the data before reaching for the tool kit.
The car arrived with the engine management light on and a fault code pointing directly to the DPF Pressure Sensor. The owner had already been elsewhere and had a brand-new sensor fitted, but the light stayed on and the problem remained.
🔍 What was actually happening?
After running our own diagnostic checks, we found the sensor was actually doing its job perfectly. The real culprit? The rubber pressure pipes had perished and split.
Because the pipes were leaking, the sensor was getting a "false" reading, which triggered the code. The sensor wasn't broken—it was just reporting the bad news!
🛠️ The Result
By identifying the split pipes instead of just fitting another sensor, we were able to:
Fix the actual root cause.
Save the customer from spending more money on parts they didn't need.
Get the car back on the road running 100%.
The Moral of the Story: A fault code is just a starting point, not a shopping list! Getting a proper diagnostic check might take a little longer upfront, but it almost always saves you time and money in the long run.
Got a stubborn warning light that won't go away? Give us a shout—we’re here to help get to the bottom of it. 🚗💨

Total Peace of Mind for this Vauxhall Astra! 🚗💨
​This Astra came to me after a change of ownership. Since the vehicle had no service history—including no record of a cambelt change—the new owner wisely decided to start fresh.
​We carried out:
​✅ Full Engine Service to ensure everything is running smoothly.
​✅ New Cambelt & Water Pump for essential engine protection.
​✅ Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement to eliminate a persistent rumble and keep the ride quiet.
​Now this car is back on the road, safe, serviced, and ready for many more miles. 🛠️
