Services and Repairs

Cars will typically receive one of the following services (these services vary in price depending on how much work is needed to be done on the car, and what service parts need to be replaced):-

We do all mechanical repairs on any make of vehicle including:

Minor or Lube Service:

A basic service will typically include an oil and oil filter change and a visual inspection, but there will usually be a top up of all the key fluids in the engine (washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze and steering fluid) and a check of up to 35 key components to ensure your car is in the best condition possible. We can also check your brakes and manufacturer guidelines and recommend any additional work your car may need.

Major Service:

A major service should include checking all parts for wear and tear (i.e., mountings, bushes, ball joints etc.), service and maintenance your car needs and is the most expensive and comprehensive service available.

There are a wide range of checks included in the manufacturers service and will include a change of spark plugs, change all filters and some other service/wear items that are recommended by the manufacturer’s schedule. This does not include any additional repair or maintenance work.

Cam Belt Service:

Certain cars have a timing chain, while others have a timing (or cam-) belt. This needs to be replaced at certain intervals to manufacturers’ specifications and includes changing the water pump and pulleys.

GEARBOX REPAIRS

If your gearbox is down, you need it up and running as quickly and efficiently as possible. Repairing an existing gearbox can be a quick and cost-effective way of bringing your process availability back to 100%, compared to a replacement unit.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REPORTS

For most cars that come in, our mechanics will use a diagnostic tool to see if there are any recorded problems. They do this using specialized diagnostic software which accesses the car’s reporting system and computer system where any problems are monitored, and faults are logged. Performing a diagnostic test can typically reveal a range of problems associated with the car’s transmission and various other components of the car, like ignition timing problems, issues with the vehicle engine, injector faults, firing of the ignition coils, engine RPM levels, air- and coolant temperature, crank shaft and camshaft position and throttle openings. Some vehicles have several units which control areas such as engine management, brakes, suspension and even the windscreen wipers. Most, if not all modern cars, are fitted with computer processors, microchips and sensors which can be linked to a car diagnostic computer scanner at J AND T AUTO. The problem diagnosis is therefore quicker and more accurate, and there can be cost savings as less time is required by our mechanics to identify a problem. Minor problems may be identified and fixed before they have a chance to escalate into big, expensive problems.

TURBO REPAIRS

J AND T AUTO will be able to assist with turbo repairs, new or reconditioned. When a turbo is reconditioned, we do the following: Repairs include fitting of a new core, testing the actuator, removing and cleaning of intercooler boost pipes and a service. Some turbochargers have a highly complex design which makes it impossible to re-manufacture with any degree of reliability. Our turbo repairs and re-manufacturing is specifically for those turbochargers that are repairable. You can however be confident that when we repair or supply a service exchange turbocharger you will enjoy a full-service life due to the same quality, specifications and settings being the same as the original turbocharger.
