Hello all. So Summer is upon us again, although the weather so far says different as we currently are in our Winter jumpers and have the heating on! No doubt many of you are planning a holiday away. We are currently offering a free check over of Lights, Levels and Tyres to our customers. Useful if are travelling by car on a long journey to make sure all is well before you depart.

Merry Christmas one and all. Hope Santa is kind to you and you have an enjoyable break.
Thankyou to all our customers old and new for your support in 2012. Here's to 2013 and we hope to see you all then. Best Wishes from us all here at Car Clinic.

The nice lady at Yell.com explained that the video they prepared for us last year is ours to do what we want with, and so here's an early Christmas present: it's hardly The Sound of Music, but then there's only so much doh-ray-me-far-so-la-tee-doh that a body can take :-)

December is here and the rush up to Christmas is upon us. If you are off visiting family and friends over the holiday period you might consider a quick 'Winter Check' to make sure you are fit for your journey.
Winter Check's include lights, levels, check of tyre depths and condition, battery and charging, antifreeze strength and wiper blades. Takes about half an hour and can be done while you wait all for £22.50 plus V.A.T.

On the 12 March 1991 we opened our doors for the first time so we have just passed the major milestone of our 21st Birthday. We were so busy through March this event passed largely unnoticed!

After realising, we had a rummage round and found some old photos of the opening day and a few others besides from our 21 years. These have been posted on our Facebook page. There are some interesting outfits and James has hair. How times change!

We opened up with a blessing of the Anvil, a traditional Blacksmiths ceremony in honour of James family Blacksmith heritage. Good to take a look back and remember all our staff, customers and off the wall projects over the years. Many thanks to everyone who has supported us in any way shape or form. You are much appreciated.

Its M.O.T. reminder time. Every month we like to try and get reminders out to customers who have M.O.T's due. On doing this task you realise what a wide range of different cars we see. We might be Citroen specialists but we really do 'do any car'.

This month alone due for M.O.T. we have many Citroen's, a Berlingo, a couple of Xsara's, a C2, a C6, a handful of Picasso's, a C3, a C4, an AX and a Xantia or two but also we have a Peugeot 307 and a 206, a Seat Ibiza, a Volxwagen Golf and a Polo, an Iveco Daily, a Toyota Celica, a Vauxhall Astra and Corsa, a Renault Scenic, a Volvo V70, a Saab 93, a Nissan Almera, a Landrover Discovery and a Honda CRV to name a few!




Just a little snapshot for you. Two of our Customers cars waiting outside for jobs to be done. Perhaps one extreme to the other. We can fix anything!

Vehicle electronics are becoming increasingly complex. Where once you only had to turn a key and off you go, cars now have their very own brain running all sorts of sensors and automatic functions.

Do you remember you used to have to wind your own windows down and didn't need your car to tell you you hadn't shut the door or put your seat belt on! Its all very well and good, but the price paid is that if things go wrong, they can go wrong quite spectacularly and can cause major problems with finding the fault.

We have all the up to date equipment for fault finding but often it is not a straight forward as plugging in and being told what the problem is. A great deal of electronics skill is required to read the car and trace the fault and it can be very time consuming and frustrating as the fault is sometimes very well hidden. Things are moving at a fast pace in vehicle technology and James has headed off to Chester this morning for a 2 day course in Electronics for a bit of an update as this seems to be an area we are increasingly getting involved in. Im sure he will return refreshed and brimming with lots of new knowledge.
