It's always a 10 minute job...
Until you discover someone has over torqued the idler bolt stripping the threads and allowing the belt to walk around, thread insert and new bolt required

Customer back on the road and happy

How are those tyres looking 👀 With the chilly season coming in full swing, we will be putting up some wee visual prompts, to help get your vehicle ready for winter! Starting with those tyres! 🛞

It is really important to be looking at how much tread you have left on your current tyres and whether you have the right tyres to be achieving what your vehicle is being used for! Any bulging or exposed wires are unsafe and should be replaced!

If you are unsure on how to check your tread or wanting to order in some new tyres ahead of winter, swing in or give us ring! 🚘🛞💨
