Batteries
Fine right up until it isn't. Turning over slowly on a cold morning? Get it tested before it strands you.

Cars and bikes, same workshop.
Most garages will service your car and then send you somewhere else with the motorbike. We do both — cars, motorcycles and scooters, on the same ramps and the same bench.
Every kind of work we take is below. Filter it by what you drive, or type in what the thing is doing.

What we take
Twenty-five kinds of work. The answer to "will you look at mine?" depends less on the job than on the vehicle, so start with what you drive.
What do you drive?
Showing 25 of 25 kinds of work
Brakes and clutches
Both wear out by design, and both warn you first. A squeal, a long pedal, a bite point that has crept up the travel.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters
Brake repairs
Past pads and discs: a seized caliper, a corroded pipe, a handbrake that won't hold the car on a hill.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters
Car brakes
Pads, discs and fluid on a car. The routine job, and the one least worth putting off till next month.
Cars
Car diagnostics
Reading what the car has already recorded about itself, then working out what it actually means.
Cars · Diesel
Car electrics
Lights, starting, charging, and the intermittent fault that only ever happens when it's raining.
Cars
Car engines
From a rough idle to a rattle you can hear on the drive. We look first, then say what's involved.
Cars
Car repairs
The catch-all. If it's broken and it's a car, start here and you'll be told what it needs.
Cars · Diesel
Car servicing
Oil, filters, fluids — and a proper look round underneath while it's already up in the air.
Cars · Diesel
Car suspension adjustment
Knocks over speed bumps, one corner sitting low, or tyres wearing on an edge and not across the tread.
Cars
Diesel engines
A different animal — injectors, glow plugs, filters, and the short-journey problems that come with them.
Cars · Diesel
Engine diagnostics
A fault code is the start of the answer, not the answer. The work is finding which part is actually at fault.
Cars · Bikes · Diesel
Exhaust systems
Blowing, rattling, or hanging low. Usually a section and a couple of mounts rather than the whole system.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters · Diesel
Fuel injection
Hesitation, poor starting, heavy on fuel. Injectors, and the pump side of things sat behind them.
Cars · Bikes · Diesel
Gearboxes
The expensive noise. Worth having looked at before it gets worse, not after.
Cars · Bikes
General mechanics
Everything without a heading of its own. Ring, describe the noise, and you'll get a straight answer.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters · Diesel
Motorcycle repairs and services
Proper bench time, not a shrug. Servicing, repairs, and the jobs most garages send you away for.
Bikes
Oil changes
The cheapest thing you can do for an engine, and the one most often left far too long.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters · Diesel
Petrol engines
Starting, running, misfires, and the warning light nobody has been able to explain to you yet.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters
Scooter repairs
Belts, brakes, tyres and electrics. A scooter you commute on is not a small problem when it won't start.
Scooters
Steering adjustment
Pulling to one side, wandering at speed, or a wheel that isn't straight when you are.
Cars
Vehicle inspection
Before you buy it, after a hard winter, or because something doesn't feel right.
Cars · Bikes · Scooters · Diesel
Chain adjustments
Chains stretch. Too tight chews the bearings, too slack jumps the sprocket.
Bikes · Scooters
Parts fitting
Bought the part yourself? Bring it down with the vehicle and it will go on properly.

MOT repairs
Failed somewhere else? Bring the sheet down and the faults get put right. We don't test, so the retest stays with the test centre.

Nothing matches that wording
It doesn't mean we can't do it. Clear the search, or ring 07123 456789 and describe the vehicle and the symptom — that's quicker than any list.
On MOTs: we carry out MOT repairs. We are not a test centre, so book the test itself elsewhere and bring the failure sheet here.
On prices: what a job costs comes down to the vehicle, the parts and how long it sits on the ramp. Ring with the make, the model and what it's doing, and you'll get a figure before anything is booked in.
An industrial unit, not a showroom
Unit 22 sits on Mill House Lane at Triangle, on the road between Sowerby Bridge and Ripponden.
It is a working garage in a working unit: ramps, tools, and vehicles in various states of taken-apart. There is no waiting room and no coffee machine.
What a unit gives you over a forecourt is space. A car on the ramp and a bike on the bench at the same time is why we can genuinely take both.
Ring first if you're dropping something off. A call takes ten seconds and saves a wasted journey up the valley.

The quickest way to an answer about your car or your bike is the phone. The same number takes WhatsApp, and a photo of the part, the leak or the failure sheet beats a paragraph describing it.
