Car & van repairs in KentEveryday faults. Properly sorted.

Fault finding

Diagnosing warning lights & running faults

A warning light, rough running or a recurring fault needs investigation. We use diagnostic checks and the symptoms you describe to help identify the underlying problem and explain the next step.

• Engine warning lights and dashboard messages
• Starting, idling and running concerns
• Fault findings explained before repair work is agreed

Cooling system checks

Coolant leaks & overheating problems

Coolant loss or changes in engine temperature can have several causes. We investigate leaks and cooling-system faults, then discuss the parts and work needed for your vehicle.

• Coolant leaks and unexplained coolant loss
• Overheating and temperature concerns
• Cooling hoses, connections and related components

Starting & charging

Batteries, alternators & starter motors

If your car or van is slow to start, will not turn over or has a charging fault, we can check the battery, charging system and starting components. Replacement parts are quoted to suit the fault and vehicle.

• Battery checks and replacement
• Alternator and charging faults
• Starter motor faults and replacement

Cooling component replacement

Radiators, thermostats & water pumps

We replace leaking or faulty radiators, thermostats and water pumps where required. The right parts and access requirements depend on your engine, so we confirm the work with your registration.

• Radiator replacement
• Thermostat replacement
• Water pump replacement and associated work

Exhaust & sensor faults

Exhaust repairs & faulty sensors

An exhaust leak, rattle or sensor fault can affect the way your vehicle runs. We assess the problem and explain whether a repair or replacement component is needed.

• Leaking, damaged or rattling exhaust components
• Exhaust mountings and connections
• Faulty sensor checks and replacement where needed

Worn component replacement

Worn engine mounts, belts & hoses

Worn mounts, damaged belts and deteriorated hoses can cause noise, vibration or leaks. We inspect the affected components and discuss the replacement work required.

• Engine mount replacement
• Worn or damaged belts
• Split, leaking or deteriorated hoses

For belt-specific work, see our timing belt and wetbelt replacement pages.

Leak investigation

Finding & fixing oil leaks

Oil can travel across an engine before it drips, so finding the source matters. We investigate the leak and quote for the relevant seals, gaskets or other components once the cause is identified.

• Engine oil leak investigation
• Seal and gasket replacement where required
• Related component repairs, depending on the engine

Braking & handling

Brakes, suspension & steering repairs

From worn brake components to suspension knocks or steering concerns, we can inspect the affected parts and explain the repair options for your car or van.

• Brake pads, discs and related repairs
• Worn suspension components and knocks
• Steering component checks and replacement
