We cover the full spectrum of mechanical issues, ensuring every component of your vehicle functions optimally.

For vehicles outside of warranty, we always recommend high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OE specifications, providing durability and performance.

Expert Vehicle Servicing: The Key to Longevity

Regular servicing is the lifeblood of your vehicle. It's not just about changing the oil; it's about preventative maintenance that extends your car's lifespan, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances safety. At A & S Motors, we offer comprehensive servicing tailored to your vehicle's specific needs and manufacturer recommendations.

Our servicing options typically include:

• Oil and filter changes (engine oil, oil filter)
• Air filter and fuel filter replacement
• Spark plug checks/replacement
• Brake fluid and coolant level checks and top-ups
• Thorough inspection of brakes, tyres, suspension, and steering components
• Checks of lights, wipers, and horn functionality
• Diagnostic health check of your vehicle's electronic systems
• Fluid level checks for transmission, power steering, and washer fluid

Manufacturers often recommend different service intervals, typically annually or every 10,000-12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Adhering to these schedules helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, saving you money and inconvenience in the long run. Our team will advise you on the most appropriate service schedule for your vehicle based on its age, mileage, and your driving habits.

MOT Testing Made Easy: Ensuring Roadworthiness

The MOT test is a legal requirement in the UK for vehicles over three years old, ensuring they meet minimum road safety and environmental standards. At A & S Motors, we are an approved MOT test centre, providing thorough and impartial assessments. We aim to make the MOT process as seamless and stress-free as possible for our customers.

Should your vehicle fail its MOT, we provide a clear, itemised report of the necessary repairs. We can then carry out these repairs efficiently, often allowing for a free re-test within a specified period. Our commitment is to get your vehicle to pass its MOT safely and economically.

Advanced Diagnostic Services: Pinpointing Problems Accurately

Modern vehicles are equipped with complex electronic control units (ECUs) that manage everything from engine performance to braking systems. When a warning light illuminates on your dashboard, or your car behaves unusually, a comprehensive diagnostic check is essential. Our complete diagnostic service utilises cutting-edge diagnostic tools and software, allowing us to 'speak' to your car's computer system.

This advanced technology enables us to read fault codes, analyse live data from various sensors, and accurately pinpoint the root cause of issues that might otherwise be difficult to identify. Whether it's an engine management light, an ABS warning, or an issue with your vehicle's immobiliser, our diagnostic expertise ensures that we identify the problem quickly and provide an effective solution, avoiding costly trial-and-error repairs.

Air Conditioning Specialists: Comfort in Every Season

Your car's air conditioning system is not just for keeping you cool in summer; it also plays a crucial role in demisting your windows in colder, damp conditions. A & S Motors offers a full range of air conditioning services, including maintenance, repair, and replacement.

Manufacturers typically recommend that the air conditioning system has a full service every two years. This service usually involves:

• Refrigerant gas recovery and re-gassing to the correct levels
• Lubricant (PAG oil) top-up to ensure compressor longevity
• Leak detection and repair
• System performance checks (temperature output, pressure readings)
• Odour treatment to eliminate bacteria and mould from the system

Neglecting your air conditioning can lead to reduced efficiency, unpleasant odours, and even costly component failures, such as compressor damage. Our specialist air conditioning service ensures your system is running optimally, providing comfortable cabin temperatures and clear visibility throughout the year.

Serving All Makes and Models: Cars & Light Commercial Vehicles

One of our key strengths at A & S Motors is our versatility. We are fully equipped and skilled to provide servicing and repair to all makes and models of cars, from compact city cars to luxury saloons, and a wide range of light commercial vehicles. This includes small vans, pick-up trucks, and other commercial vehicles vital for many local businesses.

Our technicians are trained across various vehicle platforms, meaning you don't need to search for a specialist garage for your particular brand. This broad capability, combined with our commitment to using appropriate parts – original equipment where under manufacturer's warranty – ensures that every vehicle receives the highest standard of care, regardless of its make, model, or age.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I service my car?

The frequency of servicing depends on your vehicle's make, model, age, and your driving habits. Generally, most manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months or 10,000-12,000 miles, whichever comes first. It's best to consult your car's owner's manual or speak to our team for a tailored recommendation.

What does an MOT involve?

An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual inspection of your vehicle to ensure it meets minimum road safety and environmental standards. It checks components like lights, tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, seatbelts, and emissions. It is not a service and does not cover the mechanical condition of the engine, gearbox, or clutch.

Why is air conditioning servicing important?

Over time, your car's air conditioning system can lose refrigerant gas, leading to reduced cooling efficiency and potential component wear. Regular servicing (recommended every two years) replenishes the gas, checks for leaks, and lubricates components, preventing costly repairs and maintaining optimal performance for comfort and demisting.

Do you use genuine parts for repairs?

Yes, if your vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty, we use original equipment (OE) parts to ensure compliance and maintain your warranty. For vehicles outside of warranty, we offer high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OE specifications, providing reliable and durable solutions.

What types of vehicles do you service?

We provide comprehensive servicing and repairs for all makes and models of cars, ranging from small hatchbacks to large SUVs, as well as light commercial vehicles, including small vans and pick-up trucks.

How does the free collection and delivery service work?

Simply call us to book your MOT or service. Let us know your preferred collection location (home or work) within our service areas. Our team will collect your vehicle at the agreed time, carry out the necessary work, and then deliver it back to you once complete, saving you time and hassle.
