General Mechanical Repairs & Servicing
Quality general mechanical repairs and servicing for your Ford van or pickup.
General Mechanical Repairs & Servicing
As well as our specialist 2.0 EcoBlue work, we look after the everyday mechanical needs of Ford Transit, Transit Custom and Ranger owners: servicing, brakes, clutches, suspension, cooling, batteries and more. We explain the work needed and give you a clear quote before we start.
Because we know these vehicles so well, we often spot developing issues, like early wet belt wear, before they become bigger problems. You get a thorough job, quality parts and clear advice on what genuinely needs doing now versus what can safely wait.
Whether you need a routine service, a brake job or help with a niggling fault, we're here to keep your van reliable and on the road. Book a free quote and we'll be happy to help.
