Bring routine and substantial work under one roof

Our larger workshop gives drivers in Smeeth access to planned maintenance and involved mechanical repairs at fixed premises. Full servicing is quoted at £210 plus VAT and includes broad checks guided by the vehicle's schedule. For larger jobs, increased lifting capacity supports major engine and drivetrain access. Contact us first with the registration, mileage, engine details and service history so we can identify the work and allocate suitable workshop space.

Careful diagnosis before major dismantling

Overheating, coolant loss and exhaust steam can suggest head gasket trouble, but cooling leaks and other faults may produce similar signs. We diagnose before dismantling and explain that a confirmed gasket repair generally takes around two weeks. Heavy mechanical work also progresses in stages, from inspection and strip-down to parts assessment, rebuilding and testing. Customers travelling from Smeeth receive a planned workshop booking, with significant findings discussed as access reveals them.

Frequently asked questions

What does the full service price include?

The quoted price is £210 plus VAT for the stated full-service scope. Exact filters, fluids and additional interval items depend on the vehicle specification and schedule.

How long can head gasket work take?

It generally takes around two weeks because diagnosis, dismantling, cylinder-head assessment, parts, rebuilding and testing must be completed in careful stages.

Why can heavy repair scope change during strip-down?

Some damage and associated wear remain hidden until components are removed. We assess those parts when accessible and explain any change before additional work proceeds.
