Mechanics

A car that will not run is not a car.

Many cars that arrive here are beautiful and motionless. Ten years in a garage, a dead battery, hardened hoses and fuel gone stale. Getting them roadworthy again takes more method than parts.

  1. Recommissioning

    You do not wake an engine that has stood for years by turning the key. We drain it, check compression, replace what has dried out, and build oil pressure before the first start. An engine wrecked on waking costs ten times the preparation that would have saved it.

  2. Brakes and running gear

    This is the part owners put off and the part that decides everything. Seized calipers, swollen hoses, spent dampers, perished bushes. On a car that gathers speed easily, none of it is negotiable.

  3. Regular servicing

    Oil, belts, plugs, clutch, a check before a long run or an outing. A car that runs little wears differently from one that runs a lot, and it needs watching differently.

What we do in house

  • Oil, filters, plugs, belts
  • Recommissioning after a long lay-up
  • Full brake overhaul, calipers, discs, hoses
  • Clutch and gearbox
  • Dampers, bushes, geometry
  • Cooling system and hoses
  • Pre-trip and pre-sale inspection
