Brakes and steering
We inspect hydraulic parts, friction components, steering joints, bearings and mountings before recommending repair.
- Brake fluid and leak checks
- Steering-play inspection
- Safe road verification
Starting and wiring
Battery, cables, grounds, charging output, starter controls and added accessories are tested together.
- Voltage-drop testing
- Hot and cold starting checks
- Charging-system verification
Repair, rebuild or replace
We compare the condition of the installed component with the cost and availability of a suitable replacement.
- Repair serviceable components
- Rebuild recoverable units
- Replace unsafe or damaged parts
Brake, steering and suspension decisions
We check brake hydraulics, friction parts and fluid before deciding what can be serviced or needs replacement. A sinking pedal, fluid loss or binding wheel calls for transport rather than a road test.
Steering play can involve joints, mountings, trunnions or bearings. We inspect those parts and tyre age before alignment, especially on cars with changed wheels or ride height.
Electrical testing and parts choices
We test the battery, cables, grounds, charging output and starter circuit together. A new battery cannot cure cable resistance or a charging fault; a hot-start problem may need testing when warm.
For a carburettor, distributor, starter, alternator or caliper, the choice depends on core condition and suitable parts. The written quote identifies any repair, rebuild or compatible replacement and what it includes.
