Brake Repairs
Having fully functional brakes with ample stopping power is vital to your safety on the road. We can repair and replace all disc and drum brakes on all makes and models. We only use brake components from top quality suppliers. If your brakes feel underpowered or are squealing when braking, visit our workshop for an assessment of your vehicle’s brakes.
Clutch Repairs
Your vehicle’s clutch is responsible for delivering the power from your engine, through to your transmission. If it is worn, this power won’t be delivered as efficiently and your vehicle’s acceleration may be decreased. For a quote on a replacement clutch for your car, call us today or visit our workshop in Church Street, Richmond.
Exhaust Repairs
The exhaust system of a car is used to efficiently dispel gases produced in your engine during combustion. How quietly and efficiently your exhaust dispels these gases can have a dramatic influence on your car’s power and torque. If your exhaust is worn or damaged, it may rattle or seem louder than it normally does, call us today for a quote on a new exhaust.
Steering and Suspension
How your car handles on the road is largely related to its steering and suspension components. As these components wear over time, your car may not handle as precisely as it once did and components may make knocking noises. We professionally repair and replace any components to get your vehicle handling as the manufacturer intended.
Air Conditioning
Has your vehicle’s air conditioner stopped blowing cold air? It may be in need of a re-gas or repair. Our workshop is licensed to perform all air conditioning system re-gassing and repairs to keep you cool through the warmer months. For an assessment of your vehicle’s air conditioner, speak with our friendly team today, we will keep you cool on the road this summer.

We also supply and fit batteries for all makes and models.
Cooling System Repairs
Is your vehicle overheating? It may be in need of cooling system repairs. Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for ensuring your car maintains the correct operating temperature so that no major damage occurs. We can replace head gaskets and radiators, as well as flushing your cooling system to get your car running at the right temperature.
Transmission Servicing
A major part to your vehicle’s routine maintenance schedule is transmission servicing. If your transmission goes un-serviced, its lifespan can be dramatically decreased and be costly to replace. We can service automatic transmissions on all makes and models, if your transmission is whining or not shifting smoothly, visit our workshop today.
