Cam belt, timing belt, or cambelt – they’re variations on the name given to the thick rubber band with grooves, or teeth, that keep your engine working in harmony. Without it, various engine components wouldn't function together leaving your car pretty useless.

Not only does your cambelt keep all the valves and pistons in your car working together, it also keeps them apart in a very carefully timed manner. If the cambelt breaks, that timing would fail and all those valves could collide and cause a lot of very expensive damage.

All manufacturer's recommend your cambelt be changed at a certain lifetime, but a replacement is usually dependent on how old the car is, or how many miles it’s travelled. In real terms, it means replacing your cambelt after four or six years, or around the 60,000-mile mark for older vehicles, or 100,000 for newer models.

We are happy to quote you to replace your cambelt to most makes & models without obligation

If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need a clutch replacement: Spongy, sticking, vibrating or loose clutch pedal when pressed. Squeaking or grumbling noise when pressed. Ability to rev the engine, but poor acceleration.

The clutch assembly contains several components that wear down with use and others that require regular maintenance; so sooner or later can start to give you trouble.

A clutch can last 50,000 to 100,000 miles (depending on make and model), but clutch service life is greatly affected by stop-and-go city driving, frequent pulling of heavy loads, and "riding the clutch" (resting your foot on the clutch pedal while moving down the road).

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms please feel free to contact us for a no obligation quote before its too late and your car breaks down at the most inopportune moment.

There are several factors affecting the frequency with which you should service your car . Many people ask, how often should a car be serviced, however the primary trio for consideration for an answer are:

•  The amount of miles you drive.
•  How well your vehicle has been maintained.
•  The surfaces and quality of road you travel on.

As a good rule of thumb, we suggest you have your car serviced every twelve months or 12000 miles, whichever comes first. Heavy car users, who drive many miles a year, should aim to have at least an interim service every six months or 6000 miles.
