Tyres

Residue from car tyres and oil collect on road surfaces, reducing the grip of used tyres. This is increased after rain, which often leads to accidents.

We recommend you get your tyres checked at least annually to ensure your safety. Worn tyres can also lead to ITV failure.

We stock all the major tyre brands including Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Avon and more for car, van and 4×4’s and offer hourly fitting appointments. Whether you are looking for budget, mid-range, premium tyres or you need specific tyres for your vehicle, such as run-flat or winter tyres, we’ve got you covered.

Pre ITV

The ITV process works differently from the UK MOT in that you have to take your car through the process yourself, which requires a reasonable level of Spanish.

However, we offer a FREE Pre-ITV check AND can look after the whole process for you.

Servicing

We recommend an annual service for your car. Our Standard Service includes oil change, new oil filter and brake pads.

We offer four different levels of servicing from simple oil & filter change through Interim and Full to a Major Service.

Standard Servicing Price Guide

Oil & Filter Changes
Making sure that your car’s oil is changed regularly is key to keeping the engine running healthily for as long as possible. Oil keeps components within the engine moving with as little resistance as possible and needs to be replaced routinely to ensure that you’re still getting the best performance from your engine.

Interim Service
Having an Interim Annual Service for your vehicle is one of the best ways you can ensure that it remains in good condition and avoids some basic issues that, if ignored, can end up causing costly damage.

Arguably the most important part of a Full Annual Service is having the oil changed with the correct grade and specification of quality oil for your vehicle. This prevents long-lasting engine damage, maintains performance and ensures that emissions are kept to a bare minimum.

It is recommended that an Interim Service should be carried out annually for vehicles driving less than 10,000km per year.

Full car and van servicing
Our Full Service includes all the vital checks in an Interim Service and will help ensure that your engine remains healthy and in full working order. It is recommended that a Full Service is carried out annually for vehicles driving more than 10,000km per year, due to the extra stresses and strains created by the additional mileage.

What is included:
- Yet to be written
Major car and van servicing
Our Major Service option is an upgrade to the Full Service required, alongside an annual service.

It includes all the vital checks in a Full Service plus:
- a brake fluid change (recommended every two years by most vehicle manufacturers)
- a 4 litre AdBlue® top-up (diesel only)
It is recommended a Major service upgrade is considered every other year, irrespective of mileage driven. This is due to vehicle manufacturers recommending vital services like brake fluid changes every two years. This has the advantage of having the right oil to top-up with when needed or your AdBlue® tank topped up.
Why do I need a brake fluid change?

Brake fluid is designed with a high boiling point to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during braking. However, it has one major drawback – it absorbs water/moisture over time. The more water in the brake fluid, the lower the boiling point, which increases the risk of “brake fade”. Under heavy driving conditions the brake fluid boils, turns to vapour and the brake pedal goes straight to the floor with no braking action. This is known as “vapour-lock”. The condition of your brake fluid is a vital part of vehicle maintenance and a safety-critical service item. Most manufacturers recommend that you change brake fluid every 24 months or 38,000 km, whichever is sooner.
Why would I need an extra litre of oil or a 4 litre AdBlue® top-up?
Although you’ve just had your vehicle serviced, it’s handy to have the right specification oil available to top-up when required. Modern engines do use oil, which is why it’s important to check your oil level at least once a month. Having the correct oil for a top-up just makes life easier!

AdBlue® technology is appearing in newer diesel vehicles to help reduce harmful exhaust emissions. The newer the diesel vehicle, the more chance it uses it. But it does depend on manufacturer and model – not all diesels use AdBlue® technology. It’s important not to run low or run out of AdBlue® as your vehicle can go into limp mode or even fail to start. Our 4 litre top-up service is designed to keep you motoring.

Brakes

It is vital that your brakes are checked regularly, and this is included in our Interim and Full Services.

We stock brakes for most models but can source others usually within 24 hours.

Batteries

We stock many sizes of battery should you require a new one, but we also always check the condition of your battery before your car leaves our workshop.

Signs of a dead or dying car battery

Car batteries are one of those things where you only really notice them once they’ve stopped working. When they’re working they are used to start your car, help power your radio, lights, windscreen wipers and pretty well anything else that uses electricity in your car. However, over time you will more than likely experience issues with your battery’s performance, which can appear in a number of ways, such as the radio cutting out, the headlights appearing dimmer than normal and the car failing to start – especially on cold mornings.

Know how to look after your car’s battery and what can cause damage is key to getting the most value from it and ensuring you don’t get unexpectedly stranded by the side of the road.
How often should I replace my car battery?

Before your car battery actually dies you might notice a few signs that it isn’t working normally. Electrical systems are usually the first things to be affected by battery wear; you may notice your car’s radio, lighting and windscreen wipers may act differently (sluggishly or less immediately) than beforehand.

Another sign that you might notice is a strong smell coming from the battery itself – often likened to rotten eggs. This is caused by the battery attempting to ‘overcharge’ itself (trying to recharge more energy than it can hold). This is often a fault in the charging system that needs to be addressed, otherwise the same thing is likely to happen to a brand new battery.

This can also be detected visually, as in some cases this can cause the case of the battery to bulge. In this situation it is strongly recommended to bring your car to a qualified expert, as the swelling and the smell coming from the battery is caused by the sulfuric acid inside the casing.

Air Conditioning

We are authorised to repair air-conditioning systems.

Car Air Conditioning Recharge Service

A recharge (or regas) for your air conditioning makes sure that your air conditioning system should be ready to use effectively whenever you need it. Through time and regular use the gas in your air conditioning system will run low and will need to be replenished before the system can start to operate as designed and blow consistently cold air again.
How often should you recharge your air conditioning?

Regular checks will ensure that your air conditioning is working at its optimum performance and makes sitting in your car on a hot day a lot more comfortable, as well as ensuring the windscreen is clear in winter months.

We recommend that you have your air conditioning system checked for its gas / refrigerant level every two years to keep it running healthily.

If you are in any doubt whether your air conditioning system is operating as it should be, we will be happy to give your vehicle a free temperature test so that you can find out whether you would benefit from a recharge.
Why recharge your air conditioning?

Air conditioning is kept cool thanks to a refrigerant gas that circulates in the system, ensuring that cool air spreads throughout the entire vehicle. In the two years recommended between system checks and potential top ups of refrigerant, a lot can change like the amount of refrigerant gas remaining in the system.

As well as keeping your car cool in the summer and the windscreen demisted in the winter, using your air conditioning regularly will help it operate as efficiently as possible.

A drop in gas level will result in a loss of system efficiency.
