MAINTENANCE & UPKEEP

Spending a beautiful weekend at the side of the road can be one of the most frustrating experiences for any classic car owner. Frequent servicing is the easiest way to minimise the risk of breakdowns and keep your machine rolling mile after mile.

Regular Servicing

From a simple oil change to a fresh set of plugs and leads, keeping things fresh under the bonnet is the easiest way to make sure your car is running smoothly. Regular service intervals are an important part of classic car ownership, and the key is in knowing which bits need specific attention. Our thorough servicing routines ensure that your vehicle is ready to hit the roads.

We can offer one of services or regular maintenance for our fellow local classic owners.

Carburettor Tuning

Car running rough? Are your mirrors filled with black clouds when you pull away?

Carburettors are the lungs of classic engines, and unlike modern vehicles there's no ECU to mix the perfect fuel ratio. Properly tuned carbs can help your car run cleaner, smoother, and make a huge difference to the power output of your engine. A lumpy idle, poor starting, and backfiring engine can all be signs of an out of balance carburetor.

Our carburetor tuning services are a great way to ensure your car performs at its best for you.

Get your car back on the road!

Sometimes life gets in the way of our hobbies and passions. We understand how your classic ended up in storage, and we know how excited you'd be to get back behind the wheel.

Stored vehicles, however, always need to be shown some love before heading out on the roads. Sticky brakes, dried up joints, cracked fuel lines and blocked or empty radiators are typical finds on a vehicle that's been out of service. Driving without checking all the right spots can be both dangerous and costly.

Avoid that breakdown dissapointment and get in touch to tell us about your classic here.
