Frequently Asked Questions
On this page, we answer the questions our customers frequently ask. If we’ve missed one, give us a call!
Our trained technicians work on all makes and models and light commercial vehicles.
“In the UK, a light commercial vehicle (LCV) is typically classified as a vehicle designed and constructed for transporting goods with a maximum gross weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes (3,500 kilograms).
Examples include vans like the Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux.
These vehicles are used for commercial purposes but are light enough to be driven with a standard driving license.”
“To answer this question, we’d assess the following before offering our expert advice:
Modern vehicles often have reminder lights on the dashboard that alert when specific services are due. However, if your car is older, we will check the service history to see what maintenance has been performed and when. The manual will also provide a schedule of recommended services based on mileage and time intervals. Alternatively, we’ll refer to the manufacturer’s service guidelines for your car’s particular model.
Our car servicing diagnostic tools will read any error codes stored on the onboard computer that indicate specific issues. Of course, we can identify some problems by visual inspection or by having our technicians take your car for a quick test drive.
What’s most important, however, is listening to your concerns. As a regular driver of your car, you’ll notice when something doesn’t feel right. If you think you’ve spotted a particular problem, get in touch with our approved garage straight away.”
