As over time and use your discs and pads will wear and it is important to have them checked before they are worn so much that they cause issues and affect your ability to control your vehicle.

Cam Belts

The Cam Belt can also be known as the timing and it is essential that it is changed before it breaks. A breakage can cause catastrophic damage to an engine as the cambelt synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft so that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times.

Each vehicle manufacturer recommends different intervals for when a Cambelt should be changed, these could range from 4 - 6 Years or 40,000 - 100,000 Miles. You should refer to your vehicle handbook to confirm when yours should be changed.

If you are unsure then call in to see us and our experienced technicians will be happy to check things out and advise you if it needs changing.

Diagnostics

MOTaTech have invested heavily in the latest diagnostic equipment.

So if you have an annoying light on your dashboard, or it is displaying a message our trained staff can connect to your vehicle's electronic control system (ECU). This allows them to see any fault codes that may be stored in the memory chip. We can then quickly diagnose any issues and then carry out the correct repairs where necessary.

Wheel Alignment

Why does my wheel alignment need checking?

A Vehicle’s wheels can easily become misaligned through everyday use, think of all those potholes you couldn’t avoid, speed bumps you hit a bit fast or when you caught the kerb, all these can affect your vehicle’s wheel alignment. You may not immediately notice any difference in your vehicle, but wheels that are misaligned by just a small amount can have an impact on your fuel economy and tyre wear.

If you are experiencing any of the following you may have misaligned wheels

  • Pulling to the left or right.
  • Uneven or rapid tyre wear.
  • Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.
  • Squealing tyres.

Batteries

Depending on usage a car battery should last for around 4 years. Cold weather is the biggest factor affecting battery life and putting a higher load on them when starting. Having a battery checked or replaced is straightforward and shouldn’t take long.

So if you are having trouble starting your car, or think it may be time to have that battery checked come to MOTaTech and let us check it out before the cold weather arrives, or you head off on your holidays.

  • Feel every bump
  • Sit lower at one corner
  • Hard to steer
